It goes without saying that dusky siren Pooja Hegde is one of the top actresses right now with a lot of projects in her hand. She has been at the top of her game since 2016 and is delivering successive hits. Especially, her form between 2018-2020 was phenomenal as all of her movies turned out to be hits during this period. But things took a U-turn for the glamorous beauty post-lockdown.
She had three big releases this year and all of them ended up as failures. ‘Radhe Shyam’ which was a pan-Indian venture turned out to be a disaster and ‘Beast’ got a lot of negative response. It was subjected to a lot of trolling too and Megastar’s ‘Acharya’ too ended up in heavy losses. She expected to bounce back with her next couple of big projects but they are getting postponed unexpectedly.
As we know, she is the heroine in superstar Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film under Trivikram’s direction. The first schedule was wrapped up and the movie was supposed to hit the screens on 28th April 2023. But the unexpected demise of Mahesh babu’s mother forced the team to put a hold on the shooting. Currently, Mahesh is on a solo trip to Spain to get over the unfortunate loss.
Other than Mahesh’s project, Salman Khan’s ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ was initially expected to release on December 2022. But there are reports arriving that it got postponed to the Eid of 2023. Pooja will be romancing Salman while Venkatesh will be seen as her brother in this film. She also has ‘Cirkus’ in her hands which is expected to hit the screens during Christmas. But this Rohit Shetty directorial has not made any announcements yet.
On top of that, ‘Jana Gana Mana’ which went on floors was shelved after ‘Liger’ result. She was supposed to romance Vijay Devarakonda in this film. Also, no one knows about ‘Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh’ as Pawan is not giving any clarity. Looks like Pooja Hegde is going through some tough times at the moment.
