Pooja Hegde, who was once the undisputed queen of Telugu cinema, has been almost invisible for some years now. She has lots of work going on in Tamil films and is doing well there, but her star has waned in Telugu films as various promising projects fell apart for one reason or another.
But now the talented actress is making a comeback to Tollywood in a major film that will be made on a pan-India scale. Pooja has been confirmed as the heroine starring opposite Dulquer Salmaan in an SLV Cinemas production. Tentatively named DQ41, the movie is Dulquer’s 41st project and is presently in the process of production. The shoot is going steadily and silently on the sets.
While it’s been considered that Pooja’s star attractions are on the wane, she remains as bankable as ever. Reports indicate that she has been offered a remarkable ₹3 crore for DQ41, ensuring her worth and showing that she is still as appealing as ever. DQ41, directed by Ravi Nelakuditi, will feature music by GV Prakash Kumar and will release in multiple languages – including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, so it is going to be a serious pan-India film.
With the much-anticipated film on the horizon, Pooja Hegde is ready to re-establish herself as the hot sensation in Tollywood. Her fans are waiting with excitement, and the film’s pan-India scale will be a career defining film for her.
