Pooja Hegde rejected many offers in Tollywood. Glam diva Pooja Hegde, despite her upcoming project with Tamil star Suriya, remains committed to Tollywood. A source close to the actress reveals that she has declined several Telugu offers due to a lack of compelling roles.
"Pooja is seeking a substantial, impactful role in her next Telugu film," the source explains. "She's earned a loyal fan base in Tollywood and doesn't want to compromise her standing with a generic character."
Hegde's strategy is to prioritize quality over quantity. She's patiently waiting for the perfect script to make a triumphant return to the Telugu film industry.
Her recent success in Kollywood, where she is reportedly commanding the highest pay of her career, further demonstrates her popularity and charisma. While the exact figures remain undisclosed, it's clear that her star power is undiminished.
Previously, Hegde commanded a fee of ₹2.5 to ₹3 crore per film in Tollywood, cementing her position by collaborating with leading stars like Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Jr NTR, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun. This strategic approach has allowed her to establish a strong presence in the industry.
The source concludes, "Pooja's primary focus is not financial gain, but securing a project with a strong role that aligns with her ambition. She's holding out for the right opportunity."
