Pooja Jhaveri, who was last seen in a cameo in the Ravi Teja-starrer Touch Chesi Chudu, has bagged her next project. The Gujarati girl has been roped in as the female lead opposite Allari Naresh in his new film being directed by PV Giri of Nandini Nursing Home fame.

“The film’s shooting is underway in Palakollu and the team is filming pivotal scenes with Allari Naresh and others in this schedule. They were looking for someone who was both expressive and attractive. Pooja, who fit the bill, will start shooting for her portions on May 15. It’s going to be a role that will draw the attention of the audience,” says a source.

AK Entertainments which has produced films like Aha Naa Pellanta, Action 3D and James Bond with Allari Naresh are bankrolling this untitled project. Meanwhile, Pooja’s other project, 47 Days, which has been in the making for a long-time, is finally on the verge of completion.
