pooja hegde is steadily making a strong comeback in tamil cinema, choosing projects that highlight both her glamour and acting prowess. After her recent appearance in Retro alongside Suriya, she gained appreciation for her mature and nuanced performance, even though the film underwhelmed at the box office. Her role marked a shift from her previous glam-heavy characters, and she was praised for taking on a more grounded, performance-driven role. Building on that momentum, she’s now gearing up for the pongal 2026 release of Jana Nayagan, where she stars opposite Thalapathy Vijay. This film is already riding high on expectations, with insiders suggesting that pooja plays a pivotal role with strong screen presence.
Amid this resurgence, reports are abuzz that pooja hegde has landed yet another high-profile tamil project—this time opposite Dhanush. The film will be directed by Vignesh Raja, who delivered the sleeper hit Por Thozhil, one of the most critically and commercially successful tamil thrillers of 2023. This new film is also expected to be a crime thriller, tapping into Raja’s signature narrative style that mixes suspense with strong character arcs. Backed by VELS International, the production is expected to begin this month with a swift shoot schedule, indicating the team’s intent to bring the film to audiences without delay. If confirmed, this collaboration between pooja and dhanush could be one of the most talked-about tamil pairings in recent years.
Adding to her growing tamil portfolio, pooja hegde is also making a special appearance in the highly anticipated Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie. Though she isn’t the film’s lead, her item song—set to be released next month—has already generated considerable buzz. Given the success of her recent song “Monica” from the same film, which turned into a viral chartbuster, fans are eager to see what she brings to the screen this time. This combination of lead roles in big-banner films and high-energy special appearances has effectively cemented pooja Hegde’s place as one of the most sought-after actresses in Kollywood’s current landscape.
