The official announcement of Pooja's casting was made by the director-producer's banner Nadiadwala Grandson. "We are elated to welcome back @hegdepooja to the #NGEFamily, as she joins #SajidNadiadwala's 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' starring @BeingSalmanKhan directed by @farhad_samji @WardaNadiadwala @SKFilmsOfficial" the production house tweeted.
In a statement, Nadiadwala said the 29-year-old actor is the "best fit" for the female lead part in the movie. "After working with Pooja in 'Housefull 4', we felt she is the best fit for 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali'. It's her first time pairing with Salman, which will get freshness to the story. She has a very good screen presence and outstanding work ethics too," he said.
In 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali', Salman will be presented in a completely new avatar. The look is currently being decided upon. It also stars Pooja Hegde. She is playing a traditional small-town girl opposite Salman's character.
The film is being co-produced by Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, and Atul Agnihotri under the banners Salman Khan Films, Sohail Khan Productions and Reel Life Production.
