Not so long ago, there were rumors that Pooja Hegde and Thaman could get replaced in the cast and crew working on Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s SSMB28. But the latest updates are suggesting that the unit has decided to stick with Thaman.

But there’s still some uncertainty pertaining to the leading lady Pooja Hegde. Apparently, the actress is unable to allot dates for the project.  

SSMB28 is on course to resume the shoot very soon and the production works are being carried out at a brisk pace. Mahesh, Trivikram, and other other members of the core team are in Dubai, discussing the forthcoming schedules. But the issue here is that Pooja is busy with other assignments and commitments. She is finding it hard to allot the dates for SSMB28. 

The chances of the female lead, Pooja Hegde actually getting replaced now re bleak. But she will have to sort something out very soon or else things could change rather quickly, say reports. 

The heroine problem is one of the reasons behind the delay in the shoot now. More clarity will emerge in the next couple of weeks or so.
