Dazzling stalwart Pooja Hegde is one of the top actresses in the country. She is doing projects simultaneously in the South as well as the North. She will soon be arriving with her family action drama ‘Kisi Ki Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan’ starring Salman Khan in the lead. Apart from that, she is also the heroine in Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film under Trivikram’s direction.
Prior to the lockdown, Pooja was considered as a lucky charm since most of her movies with big heroes turned out to be super hits. ‘DJ’, ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramlo’, ‘Aravinda Sametha’, ‘Maharshi’ and others were highly successful. But ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ with Akhil proved to her last hit and everything which came after that turned out to be duds. She did ‘Beast’ with Vijay in Tamil, she romanced Ram Charan in ‘Acharya’, played the female lead in ‘Radhe Shyam’ and was the heroine in Ranveer Singh’s last outing ‘Cirkus’ made by Rohit Shetty.
Some of these films were outright disasters while the others were failures. She was supposed to be the heroine ‘Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh’ but we don’t know if she is still the leading lady in ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ or not. She has been roped in as the heroine for ‘Jana Gana Mana’ which started before the release of Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Liger’ under Puri Jagannadh’s direction but it got shelved after one schedule.
Reports suggest that she is not getting a lot of offers like before. The successive failures are the biggest reason and she reportedly charges around 3-3.5 crores per film which is too costly for a heroine who is out of form according to many. We need to see if Pooja changes her style and reduces the fee or not.
