Pooja Hegde recently regained momentum in the film industry after losing roles to Sreeleela in two major Telugu films, Guntur Kaaram and Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Following these losses, Hegde, known for her role in Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, saw a dip in her Tollywood popularity, struggling to secure roles for nearly two years. However, reports suggest she is making a comeback in Bollywood and Tamil cinema.
Bollywood sources reveal that Pooja Hegde has now secured a lead role in Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film, directed by his father, David Dhawan. Originally, the filmmakers intended to cast Sreeleela, positioning it as her Bollywood debut. However, with Sreeleela’s recent popularity decline in Telugu cinema, the team decided to bring in Hegde, giving her the chance to reclaim the spotlight.
In addition to this Bollywood project, Pooja has landed roles in Tamil cinema, recently signing on for a film with Thalapathy Vijay and wrapping up another with Suriya. This resurgence across Tamil and Hindi film industries marks a strong return for Hegde, showing her resilience and versatility as she re-establishes her presence in Indian cinema.
