Pooja Hegde is the most happening actress in Tollywood now. She is demanding in upwards of Rs 2.5 crores per project but the makers of A-lister projects are ready to offer her big bucks to cast her for their projects. This makes Pooja one of the highest paid actresses as well. Another interesting aspect of Pooja’s career is that she has lined up a series of sensational projects that are riding high on buzz. She has lined up projects with top stars like Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and others.
Pooja will next be seen in Prabhas’s Radhe Shyam. She plays the leading lady in the bid-budget periodic love drama that features Prabhas in the central role. This love drama is slated for theatrical release next Sankranthi season and it is the costliest project in her career thus far. Radha Krishna Kumar is directing the Prabhas starrer.
The dusky beauty is also scheduled to work with Mahesh Babu for his immediate next project, SSMB28. She was announced as the female lead in the Trivikram directorial, which will be hitting the floors in a few months from now. This will be her second collaboration with Mahesh Babu after Maharshi, and also her third collaboration with Trivikram after Ala Vaikunthapurramulo and Aravinda Sametha. This film might release in theaters next summer season.
Also, Pooja is set to collaborate with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan for his immediate next film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. This will be her major Bollywood project, apart from Cirkus, in which she co-stars with another top Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. She is shuttling between her Telugu and Bollywood projects now.
Apart from these biggies, Pooja has lined up Most Eligible Bachelor which stars Akhil Akkineni in the principal lead role. This film had wrapped up the shoot and it is gearing up for release. It is unclear if the film will release in theaters or premiere directly on OTT. This could well be Pooja’s immediate next release in Telugu.
Pooja is currently at the peak of her career and she couldn’t have asked for a better line up for films so forth.
