0

As explained before, Pooja Hegde has been having a disastrous phase in her career, with half a dozen box-office bombs back-to-back. Unsurprisingly, she’s facing a dearth of acting offers across all the languages of the country. However, it looks like Hindi cinema is at her rescue.

As officially announced, she will be next seen opposite Ahan Shetty in a romantic drama titled ‘Sanki’; notable filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala will bankroll this venture, while debutants Adnan A. Shaikh and Yasir Shah will jointly direct this project. This film is expected to hit screens on Valentine’s Day 2025. This will be the second outing for Ahan, who made his acting debut with Tadap (2021), a remake of Ajay Bhupathi’s RX 100 (2018).

In addition to this, she is also signed in to romance Shahid Kapoor in a cop drama film titled ‘Deva’; this will be directed by Rosshan Andrrews of Malayalam cinema. Pooja Hegde was last seen in Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023), which was panned by both critics and audiences.

‘Supreme Hero’ Sai Dharam Tej has altered his name yet again! The actor, who was last seen in Bro (2023), changed his legal name to ‘Sai Tej’ following the motorbike accident in September 2021.

In March 2024, the Virupaksha star surprised his fans with an announcement stating that he has decided to go for a name change once again to ‘Sai Durga Tej’; he added that the addition of the middle name ‘Durga’ was to pay homage to his beloved mother Vijaya Durga, who is none other than the younger sister of ‘Mega Star’ Chiranjeevi. Additionally, the actor has announced his own production company with the name ‘Vijaya Durga Productions’, which implies that very soon he will be investing in feature films.

It must be seen how these decisions turn out in terms of success and fame. On the work front, he has signed for a film with debutant director Jayanth Panuganti. His collaboration with Sampath Nandi, titled ‘Ganja Shankar’, has been shelved due to budget issues.

Stars Succumb to Politics

0

Star heroes come into politics to bring about new changes and serve the people by sacrificing crores of money. But sadly, politics changes them, and they face difficult situations.

A few years ago, stars like MGR and NTR entered politics and succeeded in a big way. However, recently, this hasn’t been the case for stars. Chiranjeevi started a party but failed to achieve his goals, then joined an existing party and returned to cinema. Rajinikanth announced a party but immediately closed it. Kamal Haasan started a party but also supported an existing party, as did Pawan Kalyan.

Despite their great mindset and intentions, they end up being changed by politics. Everyone enters politics hoping to bring about new changes from existing policies and ruling parties, but ultimately, they end up joining them.The next one is Vijay. Will he change politics, or will politics change him? Only time will tell
