The grapevine in kollywood is sizzling hot — and this time, it’s about Pooja Hegde and yet another item number. Reports suggest that the actress has been roped in (or rather, forced in?) for a peppy, high-voltage special song in Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming biggie Jananayagan.
Déjà Vu After Arabic Kuthu?
Fans still can’t forget the frenzy that “Arabic Kuthu” created with Vijay and Pooja’s electrifying screen presence in Beast. industry insiders claim that the makers are trying to recreate the same chartbuster magic — and who better than pooja to deliver those viral moves once again?
The unit is currently shooting the number in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, with grand sets, massive lighting rigs, and hundreds of background dancers to make it the film’s musical highlight.
Forced or Formula?
While some call this a strategic move to guarantee a blockbuster track, others whisper that pooja may not have been entirely enthusiastic about slipping into the ‘item song’ label yet again. After all, she has carved her space as a leading lady, but the industry’s obsession with formula-driven “special songs” keeps pulling her back.
Fans Divided, Buzz Unstoppable
The news has already split fans online. While Vijay’s massive fanbase is hyped about another sizzling dance number with guaranteed repeat value, Pooja’s loyalists argue that she deserves meatier roles instead of being cornered into glam-heavy songs.
🔥 One thing’s certain: Whether “forced” or “formula,” when Vijay and pooja come together for a dance number, the screen is bound to explode. The only question is — will Jananayagan’s special song top “Arabic Kuthu” or fade as a recycled gimmick?
