Will Pooja Hegde Suit Next to Nani?

Rumours are strong that Pooja Hegde might join Nani in Sujeeth’s upcoming film. But will this pair work well on screen? Let’s take a closer look.

Pooja Hegde who was once one of the busiest actresses in Telugu cinema, seems ready to make a grand comeback. After a long break from Tollywood, she has already signed a film with Dulquer Salmaan directed by Ravi Nelakuditi. Now, reports say that she is likely to be part of Nani and Sujeeth’s new project.

The film, currently referred to as #NaniXSujeeth, is expected to be a stylish action comedy with Sujeeth’s trademark flair. Nani, who is presently busy with The Paradise under Srikanth Odela’s direction, plans to begin Sujeeth’s project once his current film wraps up. The production is handled by Niharika Entertainment in association with Unanimous Productions.

However, the big question everyone is asking is Will Pooja Hegde suit next to Nani?

Nani is known for choosing heroines who look natural and simple, giving a “girl-next-door” appeal. Actresses like Sai Pallavi, Nazriya Nazim and Keerthy Suresh have perfectly matched his screen image. In contrast, Pooja Hegde has mostly played glamorous roles alongside big stars like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu and Prabhas.

Many fans feel it would be interesting to see how her elegance blends with Nani’s grounded personality. If Sujeeth’s story has a strong emotional or romantic angle, Pooja’s charm could add freshness to Nani’s world. But some believe Nani usually avoids pairing with top heroines, as he prefers performances that feel more realistic than star-driven.

Director Sujeeth known for Run Raja Run and Saaho is reportedly planning a dark comedy mixed with action. If the pairing works, this could be one of the most refreshing combinations in recent Telugu cinema.

For now, everything remains under discussion. Whether Pooja will indeed join Nani’s next film or not is yet to be confirmed. But the buzz around this unexpected pairing has surely caught everyone’s attention and fans are eager to see if this combination turns out to be a hit or a miss.
