Last Major Telugu Appearance Was in ‘Acharya’
Pooja Hegde’s last major Telugu film was ‘Acharya’ (2020), and since then, her presence in Tollywood has been limited. She had a brief cameo in ‘F3’ and was initially part of ‘Guntur Kaaram’, but exited the project during early production.
Despite the gap, Pooja maintains a strong fan base in Telugu cinema, with her performance in ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ still celebrated. The film remains one of the highest-grossing Telugu blockbusters.
Shift to Tamil and Hindi Projects Over the Past Year
In recent years, Pooja has focused more on Tamil and Hindi films. She starred opposite Thalapathy Vijay in ‘Beast’, and is currently working on Tamil films like:
- ‘Retro’
- ‘Jana Nayagan’
- ‘Coolie’ (with Rajinikanth)
She also has upcoming Bollywood ventures in the pipeline, further showcasing her pan-India appeal.
Dulquer Salmaan’s Potential Third Telugu Hit?
If the project materializes, it will mark Dulquer Salmaan’s third Telugu film, following the massive success of:
- ‘Sita Ramam’ (romantic drama)
- ‘Lucky Bhaskar’ (financial drama)
A pairing between Pooja and Dulquer would bring together two beloved stars and raise anticipation among fans of both Telugu and pan-India cinema.
