Pooja Hegde recently opened up on Kriti Sanon’s Shehzaada which is a remake of the south film Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo where Pooja Hegde starred along with Allu Arjun. The film became one of the biggest success stories in the nation, and Shehzaada is on rounds that would feature Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon.
Pooja said, “I have played the part and I am done living it. I wish Kriti all the luck with this film. She was my co-star in Housefull 4 and we’ve had a great working relationship. I love the memories attached to Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo. ButtaBomma became such a huge success and so did the film. It found its way into the hearts of the audience. That’s good enough for me. And if you look at it, even Allu sir is not reprising his role in the remake. Besides, I don’t want to revisit the journeys I’ve already completed in the past. I would rather do something new.”
Kriti and Pooja have been a part of the film Housefull 4 earlier, and Pooja was further asked about Housefull 5, to which she said, “I don’t know anything about Housefull 5 at the moment and I don’t know if it is in the offing. Sajid (Nadiadwala) sir and Akshay (Kumar) sir are the best people to talk about it.”
She further added, “It has rarely happened with me that I start the year with a string of fresh projects. In the last four years or so, I’ve always had projects spilling over from the previous year into the next. I’m very happy that I have Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and Mahesh Babu’s next starting almost around the same time. They will pretty much take up the rest of my year but I’ll be happy to accomodate one or two interesting projects besides these in the year. I want to continue my run the way it has been for the last four years. At the moment, I’m just waiting to meet director Farhad Samji and discuss my character in Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali with him. Although it’s a Salman Khan-centric film, I have a meaty and an interesting role to play. We have to just sit and chalk out the finer details,” as quoted from ETimes.
