In a recent interview, actress pooja hegde opened up about her upcoming tamil film Jananayagan, revealing that the movie is actually a remake of the telugu blockbuster Bhagavanth Kesari, which starred Nandamuri balakrishna in the lead. According to pooja, the team behind Jananayagan has retained the essence of the original but made several key changes to better align with the cultural preferences and emotional tone favored by the tamil audience. These modifications, she explained, are meant to make the story more relatable without compromising on its core message and emotional strength.

One of the most notable changes in the remake lies in the female lead's character arc. In Bhagavanth Kesari, the role played by kajal aggarwal was relatively limited in scope and screen time, largely serving as a secondary narrative element. However, pooja hegde shared that in Jananayagan, her character has been reimagined and given far more depth. The tamil version presents her in a stronger, more substantial role that actively contributes to the story’s development and emotional weight. This shift not only provides a refreshing angle to the narrative but also allows pooja to explore a more layered performance.

Pooja expressed her excitement about playing a role that goes beyond the usual glamour-driven appearances she’s known for. She appreciated the makers’ efforts in making her character more meaningful and pivotal to the storyline. By expanding the role, the film promises to strike a better balance between action, emotion, and character drama. As anticipation builds for Jananayagan, this behind-the-scenes revelation has piqued the curiosity of fans eager to see how the tamil remake compares to its telugu counterpart—especially with pooja hegde at the center of a more empowered and nuanced portrayal.
