Pooja Hegde has been the talk of the town since the official announcement of her item number in Rajinikanth’s most anticipated Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Despite the item number in Coolie, it looks like Pooja Hegde is focusing more on becoming a top actress in the Kollywood industry, as she has already completed the shooting of Suriya’s Retro.

At the same time, she is now acting as the female lead in two biggies, Jana Nayagan, Vijay’s last movie, and Kanchana 4 with Raghava Lawrence.
After her Kollywood lineup, Pooja Hegde’s Telugu fans were disappointed and commented on social media that, for the past five years, she hasn’t even done a lead role in Telugu movies, even though her biggest blockbusters were from Telugu films such as Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.

Why is she completely avoiding Telugu movies? Did Telugu directors not approach her for a role, or is she only interested in Kollywood movies? These are the questions Telugu audiences are raising on social media.
However, Pooja Hegde’s Kollywood lineup looks stunning. If all her movies perform well or if her roles get recognized, she has a strong chance of becoming a leading actress in the Kollywood industry.

With back-to-back Tamil films, industry insiders speculate that Pooja Hegde may have shifted her focus entirely. Some believe that her recent setbacks in Tollywood pushed her towards Tamil cinema, while others argue that she is simply making smart career moves.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that a few top Telugu filmmakers did approach her, but she wasn’t interested in returning to Tollywood. If this is true, it further strengthens the belief that she has intentionally distanced herself from the Telugu industry.
It remains to be seen whether she will return to Telugu movies or if she will continue to cement her place in Kollywood as one of its top actresses.
