Pooja Hegde's most recent appearance in the film Retro, directed by karthik Subbaraj, may not have been delivered at the box office, but it has found a second life through streaming. Now available on Netflix, the film is garnering renewed attention, particularly for Pooja’s compelling performance. Critics and fans alike have praised her for bringing emotional depth and charm to a role that stood out even in an otherwise underwhelming film. Her nuanced portrayal has sparked conversations online, with many viewers discovering or revisiting the movie on OTT and expressing admiration for her ability to elevate even a flawed narrative.
Interestingly, the film’s streaming release has also rekindled fond memories of pooja Hegde's earlier on-screen pairing with tamil superstar Suriya. The duo had previously won hearts with their chemistry, and now netizens are taking to social media platforms to demand that the two reunite for a new project. Many feel that Retro didn’t do justice to Pooja’s talent and are advocating for a well-crafted romantic film that allows both actors to shine. The demand reflects not just nostalgia, but a genuine desire to see two talented performers collaborate on a story that’s worthy of their screen presence and emotional range.
This growing online sentiment could very well influence filmmakers and producers in the South indian film industry. With audience engagement on streaming platforms now playing a significant role in shaping casting decisions, the buzz around a pooja Hegde–Suriya reunion could lead to fresh collaborations in the near future. In an industry increasingly responsive to fan-driven momentum, what starts as a trending topic could easily translate into a greenlit project. Given the right script and direction, the duo has the potential to deliver a memorable romantic film that not only satisfies fan expectations but also showcases their individual growth as actors.
