Tamannaah to star opposite Puneeth Rajkumar in Yuva Ratna?

The buzz that was around the title reveal of Santhosh Ananddram’s has now shifted to the heroine of the film. While a couple of names, mostly those of south Indian heroines, have been doing the rounds for the Puneeth Rajkumar-starrer Yuva Ratna, the actor who is likely to bag the role is Tamannaah Bhatia.The makers have been scouting for a heroine, and we’re told that Tamannaah fits the requirements of the character sketched by Santhosh himself. Rumours are also rife that the production house, Hombale Films, and director are in discussions with Tamannaah. The latter was previously associated with the production house for magnum opus KGF, and has done a special song with Yash. Interestingly, Tamannaah has worked with Puneeth earlier for an ad, and since then cinegoers have been looking forward to see them in a film. In fact, on previous occasions, Tamannaah, who made her debut in Kannada with a special song in Jaguar, has expressed her interest in working with Puneeth, provided she gets a good script. The title and poster released on November 1 and also introduced  Puneeth’s character in the film. The Power Star will be seen playing the role of college-goer in Yuva Ratna. With music by V Hariskrishna, the makers plan to go on floors in December.
