She was asked who she would want to travel through life with on screen, and the options were trivikram or SS Rajamouli. She unexpectedly selected rajamouli, stating that although she loves both of them, she hasn't yet cooperated with rajamouli, unlike trivikram, with whom she has done two projects. pooja hegde is doing more projects in bollywood these days as compared to the South after a few of her films like Acharya, Radhe Shyam, and Beast flopped.
Some said that she selected rajamouli to make trivikram envious since she is upset with him for being kicked out of guntur Kaaram. Some social media users, however, misinterpreted her statement and said that trivikram was her preference over Rajamouli. Regarding her career, pooja is slated to star opposite shahid kapoor in the action film Deva, which is helmed by Rosshan Andrews. She is also collaborating with director Karthik Subbaraj on Suriya 44.
