Pooja Hegde Paid A Staggering Amount For Special Song In Telugu Film

Pooja Hegde is said to be  one  of the  highest-paid actresses in Telugu cinema. No wonder  , then,   she has being  paid  a whopping Rs 1.25  crore rupees for an item song  in F3, the  comedy-drama  directed  by Anil Ravipudi starring Venkatesh and  Varun Tej which is  sequel to  the 2019  hit F2.

A  source from Hyderabad  informs me that it was the  producer Dil Raju  who persuaded Pooja to take  the  plunge, and she readily obliged

When asked  about her hegemon(e)y in Telugu  cinema Pooja  had said, “I don’t want  to talk  about the money.  But  yes, I think it is great to be accepted in  a language  that I  didn’t know. I now feel I’ve become  a part of Telugu cinema now. I am really grateful  for that.”

She  now speaks Fluent  Telugu . “As soon as I started doing Telugu films I  began learning the language in the hope that I could eventually  dub my own lines  .I felt this was  needed  to honour my craft . To be  able to connect with the Telugu  audience  it was really  imperative to speak the language. Dubbing for  my  own  lines in Telugu has helped me get closer to my  character and  to the audience. It’s  great to  be treated as one  of  their  own in Andhra  Pradesh.”
