Speculations that Pooja Hegde will be returning to Tamil cinema for Vijay's next film appear to be true. If sources are to be believed, the actor will be joining the sets of Thalapathy 65 next month.

A source close to the film says, "Pooja has given her nod and she's expected to sign the dotted lines later this week. She has given a bulk call-sheet of 50 days and will join the sets after April 10. "

Pooja, who started her career with the Tamil film Mugamoodi in 2012, moved to Telugu and Hindi films after that. Thalapathy 65 will mark her comeback to Tamil cinema after nearly a decade.

Bankrolled by Sun Pictures, the film will be directed by Nelson Dilipkumar of Kolamaavu Kokila fame. The rest of the cast and crew is yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Pooja also has Chiranjeevi's Acharya, Radhe Shyam with Prabhas, Most Eligible Bachelor with Akhil, and Ranveer Singh's Cirkus. Nelson, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of Doctor, starring Sivakarthikeyan.
