Pooja Hegde To Star Opposite Shahid Kapoor In The Magadheera Remake?

In his decade long career, Shahid Kapoor has never gone the swords and sandals way. Comedy, action, Shakespearean drama, he has done it all and he will now finally do a period film.

The actor will be seen playing a warrior in the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit Magadheera. The romantic-action film revolves around a soldier and a princess whom he has sworn to protect. Both of them lose their lives due to the treachery of her cousin. But all the characters are reborn and reunited 400 years later and drama ensues.

The original starred Ram Charan and Kajal Aggarwal and the remake will have another Southern star paired with Shahid. Pooja Hegde who made her Bollywood debut with the universally panned Hrithik Roshan starrer Mohenjo Daro, will play the hapless princess in the film.

Her first attempt at playing an old world beauty did not go down too well with the audiences and critics but Pooja Hegde may get second time lucky with the remake.

As for the helmer of the project, it is Krish who had earlier directed Akshay Kumar in Gabbar Is Back.
Will Shahid Kapoor toughen up to play an ancient warrior and will Pooja be convincing as a princess? Only time and box office will tell.
