Ayesha Takia with Salman Khan

Finally, the search for Salman Khan�s heroine in the Hindi remake of Telugu hit �Pokkiri� seems to have ended.

Ayesha Takia is rising fast in Bollywood. First, she was offered a lead role with Aamir Khan in the Hindi remake of Tamil hit Ghajini , which she turned down. Now she is being considered for the female lead opposite Salman Khan in the Hindi remake of Pokkiri .

Producer Boney Kapoor is remaking the Telugu superhit in Hindi and has roped in director Prabhudeva to wield the megaphone for the Hindi flick.

However, the enterprising producer has not been able to find a suitable actress opposite Sallu in the film. The role was first offered to Deepika Padukone , who turned it down for reasons better known to herself. Then Jiah Khan was also considered for the part, but the fiery newcomer�s remarks against Katrina Kaif in an interview haven�t gone well with Salman.

Now, reliable sources indicate that Ayesha Takia is under consideration for the part. The source adds that there is a strong chance that Ayesha will sign on the dotted line soon.
