It’s been a challenging time for star actress Pooja Hegde, as she faces a tough phase in her career. Despite her popularity, Pooja’s recent films haven’t fared well at the box office, and her success streak seems to be slipping away across different film industries.
Her latest release, a period drama with Suriya, overseas released on May 1st with enormous expectation and moderate pre-release hype. Even though the performance of Pooja impressed critics, the film failed to work with viewers. The movie, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, had decent reviews on release and was not able to develop momentum, especially with stiff opposition from other heavy releases dulling its box office potential.
Bad luck for Pooja is that this forms part of an alarming pattern. Her last Seven movies—Radhe Shyam, Beast, Acharya, Cirkus, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Deva, and the latest being Retro—have either failed or tanked in their box-office reception. All of these consecutive debacles have frustrated fans into being gloomy regarding their heroine returning with some impressive showbiz fire.
With her career reaching a turning point, Pooja’s next step is eagerly awaited. Will she end this series of flops and return to her box office glory? The fans are keeping their fingers crossed that her next projects will yield the much-awaited turnaround.
