When Tollywood’s top production house knocked on pooja Hegde’s door with an offer to romance none other than Mega Star chiranjeevi, fans thought the diva would be signing the dotted line before they could even blink. After all, a chiru film is nothing short of a blockbuster guarantee. But hold on—Pooja didn’t say yes right away. Instead, she hit pause, leaving the industry buzzing with whispers and raised eyebrows.
Turns out, the gorgeous actress—who’s currently chilling with an open schedule—isn’t entirely sold on the idea. Her reason? The age gap. Yes, you read that right! While chiranjeevi still rules the screen with his charisma, pooja seems to be wondering if audiences will actually buy into the romance, or if X trolls will have a field day with meme-fests. After all, she knows how brutal the internet can get when the leading lady looks young enough to be the hero’s… well, daughter.
Insiders say pooja is being extra careful about her career graph these days. She’s not looking for just another ‘song-and-dance glam doll’ role, especially when trolls already slam the industry for recycling the same old formula of casting starlets opposite actors twice their age. With her brand image at stake, pooja is reportedly weighing the pros and cons before locking herself into what could either be a massive milestone or a meme-maker’s delight.
But here’s the twist—production bigwigs aren’t giving up that easily! Rumor has it they’re dangling the bait of a meaty role, glamorous screen presence, and a massive paycheck to lure her in. If she says yes, it’ll be one of the most talked-about collaborations of 2025. If she says no, she might just spark a bold new conversation in tollywood about age-appropriate casting. Either way, pooja has once again proven that when it comes to making headlines, she doesn’t even need to try—she is the headline.
