Pooja Hegde currently has very few opportunities in hand. She must make the most of whatever offers she has, as her career now hinges on delivering success with each film.
Otherwise, the road ahead could be tough. Unfortunately, she already seems to have lost one important lifeline.
She had high hopes for Retro, her film with Suriya, believing it would be a definite hit and push her back to the peak of her career.
But the film failed to garner the expected response. Although it opened well in Kollywood, it struggled to sustain momentum post the weekend.
In Tollywood, Retro was declared a flop right from day one, putting a pause on Pooja's hopes of a Telugu comeback.
The "iron leg" tag she has been battling with has only grown stronger after this film.
Even the media openly questioned the makers about her so-called jinxed image, which they dismissed — but the public seems to have already formed their opinion.
With the failure of Retro, Pooja’s opportunities have shrunk further. That said, she still has a few lifelines left — most notably, her upcoming film with Vijay.
However, in Telugu cinema, it seems the doors are nearly closed for her at the moment.
