Pooja Hegde, who had pinned all her hopes on Retro for a strong comeback in South cinema, has been left disappointed as the film failed to impress critics and movie lovers. Starring Suriya in a lead role and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro was expected to revive Pooja’s fading presence in the Telugu and Tamil industries.
However, the film opened to mixed reviews and underwhelming box office collections, crushing her hopes. Fans who were eager to see her shine again in a substantial role have been let down. With Retro, Pooja Hegde delivered the seventh flop in a row. Before Retro, big-ticket films like Radhe Shyam, Beast, Acharya, Cirkus, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Deva dented her image to a huge extent.
With such massive setbacks in both Bollywood and regional cinema, Pooja’s search for a successful comeback continues. She is all set to announce her next major project in Tollywood, while Vijay’s Jana Nayagan should act like a saving grace for the star heroine.
