Meet actress, who has given flops with Hrithik, Prabhas, Salman; is still among highest-paid stars, net worth is Rs...

Pooja Hegde made her acting debut opposite Jiiva in the 2012 Tamil superhero film Mugamoodi, which was a commercial failure. In 2014, Pooja made her Telugu debut with her second film Oka Laila Kosam with Naga Chaitanya. The romantic comedy was hugely successful and cemented Pooja's status in Tollywood. Over the years, her major hits in Telugu have been Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo with Allu Arjun and Maharshi with Mahesh Babu.

Pooja Hegde made her Bollywood debut with Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowariker's period action drama Mohenjo Drama in 2016. Made in around Rs 120 crore, the film couldn't even recover half its budget and earned just Rs 58 crore in India. After Mohenjo Daro, Pooja's next Bollywood release was Housefull 4 in 2019, which was a superhit.

In 2022, Pooja Hegde starred opposite Prabhas in the period romantic drama Radhe Shyam. The film bombed at the box office, becoming one of the biggest Telugu flops ever. The actress was paired with Salman Khan in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan in 2023, which also failed at the box office. Pooja's other two Bollywood films Cirkus with Ranveer Singh and Deva with Shahid Kapoor have also been major flops.

Pooja Hegde will be seen next opposite Suriya in Karthik Subbaraj's Tamil romantic action film Retro, which releases in cinemas on May 1. She is also the leading lady in Thalapathy Vijay's last film Jana Nayagan. The two actors have previously worked together in the 2022 action comedy Beast.

Pooja Hegde is one of the highest-paid actresses in India with the fees of around Rs 3-5 crore for each film. Her net worth is estimated to be around Rs 55-60 crore. While promoting her recent release Deva, Pooja was asked if she is the highest-paid actress in South India and she replied, "I mean I don’t think I wanna talk about money. But, I hope, I am the most loved actress."
