Pooja seems to have taken this decision seeing the growing number of film actors exploring digital content, including Janhvi Kapoor, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Even Bollywood stars like Varun Dhawan and Shahid Kapoor have ventured into web series.
This OTT debut might be a new chapter for Pooja Hegde whose theatrical career has been in a downward spiral. Despite her glamorous presence and high-profile projects, her box office track record has been dismal.

Recent films like Cirkus with Ranveer Singh, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan with Salman Khan, and Radhe Shyam with Prabhas failed to make an impact. Her last release Deva with Shahid Kapoor didn’t even do a business of 25 crores net from India, despite heavy pre-release buzz.
Pooja Hegde continues to be a sensation in the fashion world, frequently trending on social media with her bold appearances.
