Pooja
Hegde
made
her
big
Bollywood
debut
with
the
Ashutosh
Gowarikar
period
action
film,
Mohenjo
Daro.
She
starred
alongside
Hrithik
Roshan
in
the
2016
film
but
unfortunately,
it
failed
to
do
well
at
the
box
office.
In
a
recent
interview,
Pooja
revealed
why
she
took
a
break
from
the
Hindi
film
industry
after
that,
and
worked
in
a
few
films
in
the
South.
Speaking
to
Mid-Day,
Pooja
said,
"An
actor's
first
film
is
their
show
reel
to
the
world.
I
was
under
contract,
so
I
hadn't
signed
another
film
during
the
period.
Its
failure
was
heartbreaking.
Eventually,
South
films
came
along,
and
work
attracted
more
work.
I
held
off
signing
Hindi
films
because
I
needed
a
sturdy
second
movie.
I
built
on
the
success
of
Housefull
4,
and
here
I
am!"
Housefull
4,
which
also
stars
Akshay
Kumar,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Kriti
Sanon,
Kriti
Kharbanda
and
Bobby
Deol,
released
in
2019
and
became
a
box
office
success.
Now,
Pooja
has
bagged
a
role
in
Rohit
Shetty's
Cirkus,
which
also
stars
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
Ranveer
Singh
and
Varun
Sharma.
The
film
is
a
take
on
the
Shakespearean
play,
The
Comedy
of
Errors,
and
is
set
to
begin
shoot
next
month.
Cirkus
will
be
presented
by
T-Series
and
Reliance
Entertainment,
and
will
be
co-produced
by
Rohit.
It
is
scheduled
for
release
by
the
end
of
2021.
Meanwhile,
Pooja
will
next
be
seen
in
Radhe
Shyam,
a
romantic
drama
which
is
being
shot
in
both
Hindi
and
Telugu.
She
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
with
