Pooja Hegde Ditches Sai Dharam Tej

Pooja Hegde ditches Sai Tej.Pooja Hegde swiftly climbed the ladder of success in Tollywood, earning the title of a glamour queen after her impactful second debut in Harish Shankar's "DJ Duvvada Jagannadham." Her popularity soared, leading her to command a substantial fee of nearly ₹3-4 crores per film. However, a surprising exit from "Guntur Kaaram" marked a turning point in her career.

Following her departure from "Guntur Kaaram," Pooja Hegde faced replacement in several projects, including Harish Shankar's "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" with Pawan Kalyan. The latest update reveals her exit from the film "Ganja Shankar," where Sai Dharam Tej plays the lead, directed by Sampath Nandi. Amid rumors about budget concerns affecting the film's prospects, Pooja's early departure adds a surprising twist to the narrative.

Allegedly, Pooja Hegde was not inclined towards such a role, prompting her decision to withdraw from the project.

Despite this setback, Pooja Hegde is set to appear in another film alongside Siddhu Jonnalagadda, showcasing her versatility and commitment to diverse roles. As the industry and audiences eagerly await her upcoming projects, this episode highlights the challenges and choices actors face in navigating their careers and maintaining their desired on-screen image.
