What's the story

Pooja Hegde, who is set to play the female lead in Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming Telugu film DQ41, may soon fulfill her wish of acting with actor Nani.

The Coolie actor had previously expressed her desire to work with him during the promotions of her film Retro.

Now, reports suggest that she has been approached for a role in Nani's next dark comedy directed by OG director Sujeeth.

Role details

Official confirmation is awaited

The film, which is backed by Niharika Entertainment, was launched recently with a grand pooja ceremony and is expected to go on floors soon.

An official announcement regarding Hegde's involvement in this project is still awaited.

Meanwhile, Nani is currently busy with The Paradise, which will premiere on March 26, 2026.

Hegde's upcoming projects

The actor has been quite busy with her commitments in the industry.

She is set to appear in Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay, releasing on January 9, 2026.

She is also a part of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, also featuring Varun Dhawan and Mrunal Thakur.

Pooja Hegde’s growing presence in South cinema

Pooja Hegde continues to expand her filmography across major South Indian industries. Having already established herself in both Telugu and Tamil cinema, she’s now striking a balance between regional blockbusters and Hindi films. Her collaborations with leading actors such as Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and Thalapathy Vijay have positioned her as one of the most sought-after female leads in Indian cinema today.

Fans are especially excited about the idea of her pairing with Nani, as both are known for their charismatic screen presence and strong performances. The potential combination of Nani’s natural acting and Hegde’s charm has already sparked conversations online.

Sujeeth’s next project with Nani

Sujeeth, who last directed OG with Pawan Kalyan, is known for his slick storytelling and modern visual style. His upcoming dark comedy featuring Nani is being described as a mix of intense drama and sharp humor — a genre Nani has mastered in the past with films like Ninnu Kori and Shyam Singha Roy.

If Pooja Hegde joins the cast, it could mark her first full-fledged dark comedy, giving her a chance to explore a genre she hasn’t tried before. This potential collaboration is being viewed as a significant turning point for both the actress and the director, as it brings together fresh chemistry and a bold new concept.

Nani’s impressive streak continues

Nani, often praised as one of the most consistent actors in Telugu cinema, continues to choose diverse scripts that push his creative boundaries. Following the success of Hi Nanna, the actor has gained massive appreciation for his versatility and emotional depth.

With The Paradise already in production, his packed schedule reflects a strong phase in his career. The addition of Sujeeth’s film to his lineup reinforces his reputation for balancing commercial and content-driven cinema with ease.

Pooja Hegde’s career momentum

Hegde’s upcoming projects showcase her adaptability — from romance and action to drama and comedy. With Jana Nayagan opposite Vijay and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai alongside Varun Dhawan, she’s clearly maintaining a steady pan-India appeal.

If the reports of her collaboration with Nani turn out to be true, it will mark another milestone in her career. Fans are already calling it a “dream pairing” — one that could bring something fresh to Telugu cinema.
