Pooja Hegde finally bags a biggie in South

Svelte beauty Pooja Hegde, who ruled the roost in South cinema until a couple of years ago, has finally bagged a biggie after going through the toughest phase in her career. It is well known that Pooja was sidelined from Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram after the start of the project. Also, she didn’t make the cut for biggies like Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Unfortunately, she didn’t find much success in Bollywood too.

Now, the Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo star has been signed up for the leading lady’s role in Tamil superstar Suriya’s next project. Director Karthik Subbaraj locked Pooja after considering several names. The producers of this film (#Suriya44) welcomed her on board for their project. “A killer on screen! The dazzling diva @hegdepooja onboard for #Suriya44,” the team posted on social media.

A blazing poster with Pooja Hegde in a saree and adorned with jewellery was unveiled to make this announcement. This is the first time in her career Pooja is paired opposite Suriya. She previously shared screen with Thalapathy Vijay in Beast.

In Bollywood, Pooja has been roped in for Rosshan Andrews Deva with Shahid Kapoor. She will also star in Adnan A Shaikh and Yasir Jah’s Sanki with Ahan Shetty. Pooja was last seen in the 2023 film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan with Salman Khan. In Telugu, she appeared in F3 in a special song in 2022.
