Actress Pooja Hegde, who is riding on the success of her film ‘Radhe Shyam,’that also stars ‘Bahubaali’ fame Prabhas, says that building a fan base across the country was purely coincidental and that she is simply going with the flow.
Pooja made her Bollywood debut in 2016 with ‘Mohenjo Daro,’ co-starring Hritik Roshan. However, she rose to fame in the south with films such as ‘Oka Laila Kosam,’ ‘Duvvada Jagannadham,’ ‘Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava,’ ‘Maharshi,’ and ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.’
Now that ‘Radhe Shyam’ is released in multiple languages and she is getting praised for her acting, Pooja told reporter that language never stopped her from connecting with her fans, rather it has empowered her.
Pooja told reporter, “When I started working in south Indian films, I was just going with the flow without strategising much. It is a blessing that the audience has accepted me in every region. ‘Radhe Shyam’ is an important film for me because it’s a multi-lingual movie”.
“I worked hard on my character too. Earlier, people would say that I have a strong screen presence and that I am ‘beautiful’. I think that was more of a compliment for my parents because I got my good looks and physic from them. My acting and my contribution to a successful film makes me happy and satisfie. It fuels my energy to do more,” she said.
The actress now has an interesting line-up in Hindi, including Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’ opposite Ranveer Singh and Salman Khan’s ‘Bhaijaan’. She will also be seen in the Telugu film ‘Acharya’ starring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, and Tamil film ‘Beast’ alongside Vijay.
