With back to back hits, Pooja Hegde amassed an unbelievable craze in the Telugu states. Tollywood filmmakers are literally offering pujas to Pooja and are not even thinking twice to give her fat paychecks to get her dates.
In fact, Pooja’s 15-minute role was a saving grace for Gaddalakonda Ganesh. Without her extended cameo and her scintillating screen presence, the film’s fate at the box office would have been totally different.
However, Pooja she seems to be diluting all her popularity in Tollywood by wasting time by signing lackluster roles in Bollywood. For example, of the three heroines in the just-launched trailer of Housefull 4, Kriti Sanon was given more importance, while Pooja’s screentime was only equal to that of Kriti Kharbandha.
Needless to say, Pooja won’t benefit from signing such unworthy roles in Bollywood. It’s understandable if she signs performance-oriented roles. But she shouldn’t be content with this kind of insignificant roles in commercial potboilers.
We have seen how several heroines, especially from the southern film industry, lost their shine back home by succumbing to the big Bollywood dreams. Its high time Pooja realized this and put an end to signing such mediocre roles and concentrate on Tollywood for the time being.
