Pooja Hegde plays NRI in Duvvada Jagannadham

Pooja Hegde has become the new heartthrob of the industry post the teaser release of Allu Arjun’s DJ — Duvvada Jagannadham, where she was shown in a hitherto unseen sensual avatar. The film, directed by Harish Shankar, is reportedly going to portray the actress as an NRI.

“The film will explore an interesting love angle between Allu Arjun, who plays a vanta brahmadu and Pooja, who will be seen as a stylish diva. She plays an NRI who’s on a brief tour to India where she meets him. The story explores how things develop between them amidst other conflicts,” shares a source. Pooja’s last Telugu film was Oka Laila Kosam after she debuted with Mukunda.  Both films showed her in a traditional avatar.
