Talking about her transition between film industries, Pooja Hegde shared, “I just want to take versatile roles, like the other film of mine, where I’m playing a very different character as compared to this. I am working in many languages. It is a reflection of the films that I’ve done. I’ve always believed that to go wherever the content is good, I’ve gone by my gut feeling.”

She continued, “I have worked in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, and I have been loved, appreciated, and accepted, which is a privilege. It’s an honour. It’s truly humbling and it makes me work harder. I have been a Mumbai girl who started my career in Tamil Nadu, got love and appreciation in Telugu but I’m from Karnataka, so maybe that helps too!”
