Pooja Hegde Calls Nani A Dream CoStar

In a time when actresses openly speak about the co-stars they admire, Pooja Hegde has joined the conversation with a name that's winning hearts all over. During promotions for her upcoming film Retro, the actress casually dropped a wish many fans would love to see come true. While Tamannaah Bhatia recently mentioned her interest in working with Sharwanand, Pooja went ahead and called Nani her dream co-star.

Retro, Pooja’s latest project with Tamil star Suriya, is gearing up for a May 1 release. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film shows Pooja in a strikingly simple, no-makeup look—far from her usual glam roles. The trailer has already caught attention for her natural screen presence, and the chemistry with Suriya seems fresh. Produced by Suriya himself, Retro is expected to be both an emotional and stylish ride, with romance at its core.

Speaking in a recent interview, Pooja was asked which Telugu hero she'd love to collaborate with. “Definitely Nani,” she said without hesitation. “I love his performance in Ninnu Kori. There’s a special magic in the way he acts, and I’ve heard working with him is super easy and fun.” Her admiration for Nani’s effortless screen charm adds a new buzz in Telugu film circles. She also confirmed she has signed a new Telugu film but kept the details under wraps.

As Retro inches closer to its release, Pooja is clearly riding high on both work and positivity. Her simple wish to share the screen with Nani has now sparked interest among fans and filmmakers alike. Whether that dream pairing happens soon or later, one thing is clear—Pooja Hegde knows how to keep things real and relatable, both on-screen and off.
