Pooja Hegde eyes “Baahubali 3” role with Prabhas

Posted by

Actress Pooja Hegde has openly expressed her eagerness to reunite with Prabhas on screen, stating she would go to any lengths to make it happen. Once one of the most sought-after heroines in South Indian cinema, Pooja has faced a string of flops in recent years and is now actively seeking big opportunities to revive her career.

In a recent interview, Pooja Hegde revealed her admiration for Prabhas and his blockbuster franchise. “I loved Baahubali. If I get a chance to act with Prabhas in Baahubali 3, I will definitely take it. In fact, I would do anything to be part of a film with him. I am very keen to work with him again,” she said.

Her comments, however, have sparked mixed reactions among Prabhas fans. The reason stems from her earlier collaboration with the actor in Radhe Shyam, a big-budget pan-India romantic drama that failed at the box office. While the film opened to strong advance bookings, audience response was underwhelming, and it quickly became one of Prabhas’ biggest disappointments.

At the time, rumours circulated that Pooja had shown little interest in performing romantic scenes with Prabhas and had frequently delayed the shoot by arriving late. Reports even claimed that minor disagreements occurred between the two during production, which was evident when their promotional appearances together appeared less than cordial. Although Pooja later denied any feud, insisting they shared a professional rapport, industry chatter suggested that Prabhas was not entirely pleased with her behaviour during the shoot.

Now, with her public declaration about wanting to work with Prabhas again—especially in a project as high-profile as Baahubali 3—some fans have reacted critically. Many have taken to social media, suggesting that she ignored him during Radhe Shyam and is now seeking his attention only because offers have slowed down.

Whether her wish will be fulfilled remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—her statement has reignited conversation about both their past collaboration and the possibility of seeing them together on screen again.
