Mumbai: Actor Pooja Hegde who will be sharing screen space with none other than Salman Khan in the upcoming movie titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali has recently shared her experience of working with him.
Speaking about it, she said working on the prospect alongside the superstar is an intimidating experience.
In a recent interview, Pooja said: "One has to up their game when working with Salman. He has been working for years, so I am nervous. Working with stars may be intimidating, but it is a learning experience for an actor [like myself]. The script is cool and funny."
The film’s shoot was expected to begin sometimes later this year. But, given the current situation, the plans are likely to be rescheduled, said Pooja.
Speaking about the female lead, producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who is also scripting the film, said: "Having worked with Pooja in Housefull 4, we felt she was a perfect fit for this film. She has an amazing screen presence and will make for a good pair with Salman. They will bring freshness to the story."

Sajid further added that Pooja will be playing a traditional small-town girl, while Salman will be seen in a completely new avatar in the film.

Directed by Farhad Samji, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, was slated to release on Eid 2021.
