Remember Pooja Hegde ? The one who marked her debut in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Mohenjo Daro, opposite Hrithik Roshan. Though her first film turned out to be disastrous at the box-office, yet she managed to bag a role in Nishikant Kamat ’s upcoming film.

Pooja will be starring opposite Abhishek Bachchan . This yet untitled film is said to be a thriller, just like Nishikant’s earlier projects. He has been the director of blockbuster films like Force (2011) and Drishyam (2015). Therefore, he is expected to spur the same magic with Abhishek and Pooja starrer, as well.

Abhishek who was last seen in Housefull 3, is pretty much decked up about this project. As per the sources, he gave his instant nod after reading the script. He has earlier worked in action-oriented films like Dhoom and Yuva, but Nishikant’s film will star him in never before seen avatar. He will be doing some deadly action stunts.

This thriller project is backed by KriArj Entertainment . A newly formed production house that has signed a deal with John Abraham’s production house for six movies and also a partnership deal with Anushka Sharma’s Clean Slate Films for an upcoming venture.
