In a recent conversation with The hollywood Reporter India, pooja hegde shared a lighthearted behind-the-scenes detail from the sets of her upcoming film Retro, where she stars opposite Suriya. She revealed that while filming, Suriya would often speak to her in tamil, and she would instinctively reply in English. Despite the language difference, the two had no trouble understanding each other, managing to communicate seamlessly throughout the shoot. pooja described the experience as both amusing and enriching, as it reflected the unique dynamics of working in a multilingual industry like indian cinema.
She went on to explain that this unusual exchange actually helped them form a comfortable working rapport. Suriya’s ability to convey emotions and instructions through his tone, expressions, and gestures made the conversations clear, even without a shared spoken language. pooja, on the other hand, found that her english responses didn’t hinder their flow — in fact, it added an element of charm to their on-set interactions. This mutual understanding, she said, was a testament to the fact that communication in filmmaking is as much about connection and intent as it is about words.
The actress also highlighted how such experiences reflect the collaborative spirit of indian cinema, where actors from different linguistic backgrounds often come together to create compelling stories. For her, Retro wasn’t just a film project but also an opportunity to work closely with one of tamil cinema’s most respected stars and adapt to a new style of communication. pooja believes that their unique on-set language blend not only strengthened their professional chemistry but will also translate into a natural and engaging performance on screen.
