pooja hegde once celebrated for her glamorous screen presence in big-budget commercial films, made a bold career move by opting for a de-glam, performance-driven role in the film Retro. The movie was a clear departure from her usual repertoire, aiming to showcase her versatility as an actress rather than her star appeal. However, the risk didn’t pay off as expected. Retro flopped badly at the box office, and critics were lukewarm in their response. Even more telling was the audience's reaction—netizens took to social media to express their disappointment and call for the return of the “glamorous Pooja” they had come to love.
Taking note of the feedback and the market dynamics, pooja seems to have made a strategic pivot back to what the audience demands. She has now signed a full-fledged glamorous role in kanchana 4, part of the hugely popular horror-comedy franchise. The makers are reportedly banking on her charm and screen appeal to revive the franchise’s mass popularity. This marks a clear return to the kind of roles that catapulted her to fame—vibrant, stylish, and highly visible in the promotional cycle. industry insiders believe this could be her way of regaining commercial ground and reconnecting with her core fan base.
Adding further buzz to her comeback is the announcement that she will be doing an item number in Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie. Known for its mass appeal and high-voltage action, Coolie is expected to be a box office juggernaut, and Pooja’s sizzling dance number is already creating hype. The combination of glamour and star association seems to be a calculated effort to reinforce her presence in the mainstream. After the misstep with Retro, pooja appears to be recalibrating her choices, leaning back into the image that once made her one of the most sought-after actresses in the South indian film industry.
