If there is a word to describe Varun Tej in the first look of Harish Shankar's 'Valmiki', it would be ‘rustic’. The actor looked rugged and raw in a dark lungi and serious antics. In a fresh poster released on Sunday, glam doll Pooja Hegde has appeared on a bicycle and it is role set in the rural backdrop and the look seems close to Rama Lakshmi (Samantha) in Rangasthalam.

Pooja, unlike her previous roles, is wearing half saree and riding the bicycle. This is the second time Pooja is being paired opposite Varun, after Mukunda. Touted as a mass entertainer, Valmiki has music by Mickey J Mayor and it is scheduled for release on 13th September. The film is being produced by Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta under 14 Reels Entertainment.

Introducing her character to audiences as Sridevi, Pooja wrote on her Twitter: From our hearts to yours...Bringing you.....Sridevi #Valmiki #Sridevi.
