Pooja Hegde’s meteoric ascent to stardom came with the resounding triumph of Allu Arjun’s DJ Duvvada Jagannadham, wherein her bewitching bikini acts captivated the hearts of Tollywood enthusiasts, propelling her to overnight fame.
Ever since that breakthrough moment, Pooja has been traversing the path of success, but like every journey, there have been occasional roadblocks. The year 2022 presented her with a series of setbacks, as consecutive films failed to strike the right chords with the audience. Consequently, she found herself excluded from a couple of significant projects, including Mahesh Babu’s much-anticipated Guntur Kaaram.
Amidst these developments, whispers and conjectures began to circulate, speculating on the reasons for Pooja’s departure from these high-budget ventures. Some sources suggested that the producers were enticed by the prospect of acquiring the talented Sreeleela at a more favorable cost.
Nonetheless, in the midst of discussions about Pooja’s prospects and potential, director Gopichand Malineni emerged as a beacon of opportunity. Gopichand reached out to Pooja, extending an enticing offer for his upcoming film, where the charismatic Mass Raja Raviteja holds the lead role.
Additionally, Gopichand Malineni, who previously harbored a fondness for the illustrious Shruti Haasan, having cast her in acclaimed movies like Balupu, Krack, and Balayya’s Veerasimha Reddy, appears to be seeking a fresh face this time, favoring Pooja as the chosen one. However, an official confirmation remains eagerly awaited.
