While Bollywood is a struggle, Pooja is still bagging big projects in South cinema. She is currently working on Retro and Kanchana 4, which keeps her relevant in the South Indian industry.
So the question is, if she is already getting big films in South, why the extra effort to impress Aamir Khan? Is she hoping to get back in Bollywood through a film with him?
If this is a strategic move, is Aamir Khan the right person to bet on? His last film Laal Singh Chaddha was a massive disappointment and failed to live up to his past box office record.
While he is a respected actor, his ability to deliver a hit in current Bollywood scenario is uncertain. If Pooja is hoping to get back in Bollywood through an Aamir film, she might be in for a reality check.
Was Pooja Hegde just being polite to a senior actor or was this a subtle move to position herself for future opportunities?
The truth is, Bollywood is as much about relationships as it is about talent. While this may or may not lead to a film, it has certainly generated a buzz.Where every move is scrutinized, Pooja wasn’t.
