Apparently, Bhavana is the front-runner as Puneeth Rajkumar and Bhavana had worked together in her first film, 'Jackie'. “We have gone through a long list of heroines who will play the lead opposite Puneeth Rajkumar. But as of now, we have around four to five actresses. We will take a call only after considering their dates and the films they are doing now,” he said.

The team of 'Yaare Koogadali', which will be made under Vajreshwari Combines and Raghavendra Rajkumar, is leaving no stone unturned to select the best star cast for the film. “We have Yogi, Sadhu Kokila and Sindhu Loknath as part of the film.

As for Sameera Reddy, she just completed 'Varadhanayaka' and Bhavana, who is on top of the list, is shooting for 'Topiwala' opposite Upendra.
