A single year can make or break an actor's career. Those who have dominated the industry can suddenly lose their clout, while some people who struggle to make a living can become superstars. Such things only happen in the film industry.
Pooja Hegde was named the number one heroine two years ago. She was at the pinnacle of her career after "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo" became a smash hit. However, things changed after the pandemic. All of her films since then have been flops.
Pooja Hegde has been receiving remuneration in the range of Rs. 3 to 3.5 crore. But now, she has to slash her fees in order to get new offers.
She has no new Telugu films apart from #SSMB28.
