Despite having a lackluster Bollywood debut, actress Pooja Hegde is on her way to become a pan Indian star. She is working in multiple film industries throughout the country. Pooja has more than half a dozen films under production and recently she talked about her upcoming Bollywood venture titled 'Cirkus'. While selecting movies, Pooja gives preference to the filmmaker attached with it rather than the script itself.

She said, "If someone like a Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali or SS Rajamouli calls me tomorrow, I’m not going to ask them for a narration; I’ll say yes immediately. In fact, that’s what happened when Rohit Shetty approached me for Cirkus. I was so excited that I forgot to ask him who the male lead was. Then when I found out it was Ranveer, I was all like, whaaaat!?!"

Talking about her pan Indian film 'Radhe Shyam' with Prabhas, Pooja said, "Radhe Shyam is a period flick with fashion and romance woven into it, and I love that the female lead’s role is phenomenal. It’s something that is really close to my heart, and you are going to see a lot of me in it, as the storyline tracks mine and Prabhas’ journey together."
