Revealing details about Pooja’s character in the film, a source informed Mirror, “His lady love is a traditional small-town girl who is the polar opposite of Salman’s character. Pooja has played small town roles down South in films like Mukunda, and hence the makers found her apt for the role. There’s a beautiful mature love story between the two characters, and Pooja’s track acts as the catalyst to the plot.”
Meanwhile, film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter handle to share the announcement. Sharing Pooja’s picture, Adarsh wrote, “CONFIRMED… #PoojaHegde opposite #SalmanKhan in #KabhiEidKabhiDiwali… Directed by Farhad Samji… Story and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala… #Eid2021 release (sic).”
