The makers of Radhe Shyam, starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, have issued a statement refuting rumours of a rift between the two actors.
Recently, several reports stated that Prabhas was not happy with Hegde due to her behaviour on the set and the actor’s lack of punctuality. Citing Tollywood.net, Bollywood Life said the makers of the film were upset with Hedge too and had to shoot a scene with the help of a body double.
Following this, UV Creations put out a statement saying that the reports are “completely baseless.”
“Prabhas and Pooja Hedge have great respect and admiration for each other. In fact, they share a great camaraderie off-screen and that has translated into some magical on-screen chemistry,” the statement read. “Pooja has always been very punctual for her shoots and in fact, she is very easy to work with. These rumours are merely a figment of someone’s imagination. All is well between the leading pair and the entire team is very excited to bring audiences a theatrical experience they won’t forget,” the makers added.
Prabhas and Hegde will be seen coming together for the first time in the upcoming film. Apart from them, Radhe Shyam also features Murli Sharma, Sachin Khedekar, Priyadarshi, Sasha Chettri, Kunaal Roy Kapur, and Sathyan.
Radhe Shyam is a romantic drama set in 70s Europe. Written and directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, it is produced by UV Creations and T-Series, and presented by Krishnam Raju under Gopi Krishna Movies. The film marks Kumar’s second directorial venture after the 2015 Telugu action film Jil.
Recently, it was announced that Radhe Shyam will see a theatrical release on January 14, 2022, on the occasion of Sankranthi. It was earlier scheduled for a worldwide release on July 30, but the release was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic. The film will release in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
