Pooja Hegde To Replace Tamannaah In Famous Sequel?
pooja hegde, once hailed as one of the most bankable actresses in South and bollywood, has recently data-faced a series of setbacks at the box office. Her high-profile films like Beast opposite Vijay, radhe shyam with Prabhas, and Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus with ranveer singh failed to make an impact, both critically and commercially. These flops have significantly dimmed her star power and left her career at a crossroads. As a result, even her upcoming project Jananayagan, which initially generated some excitement, now carries very low expectations — reportedly even from pooja herself.
Amidst this challenging phase, a new opportunity seems to be emerging for pooja hegde in the form of Paiyaa 2, the sequel to the 2010 hit Paiyaa directed by N. Lingusamy. The original film, which starred karthi and Tamannaah, was a commercial success and garnered a cult following for its mix of romance, action, and music. For the sequel, Lingusamy initially considered roping in bollywood actress janhvi kapoor to add a fresh data-face to the tamil industry. However, he eventually leaned towards pooja, likely due to her familiarity with South indian cinema and her proven track record in tamil and telugu films — despite recent underwhelming performances.
If finalized, Paiyaa 2 could serve as a significant turning point in pooja Hegde’s career. The franchise has strong nostalgic value, and a successful sequel could re-establish her as a leading actress in the South. With the right script and pairing — possibly again with karthi or another top-tier tamil hero — this film might give her the revival she desperately needs. For now, fans and industry watchers alike will be keen to see if pooja can reclaim her spot in the limelight through this high-stakes project.
