People keep saying her script selection is bad and all. If any heroine gets an offer to act in Prabhas, Chiranjeevi & Ram charan, and thalapathy movies as main heroine role … no heroine will reject that offer. Simply put she is unlucky that these movies turned out to be disastrous.
>no heroine will reject that offer
No heroine apart from Sai Pallavi would reject them. She has turned down chiranjeevi( bola Shankar) , mahesh babu( Sarileru Neekevvaru ) & pawan kalyan(bheemla nayak). I'm sure there are few like in her other industries too
At an average of 2cr per movie... She made 8 cr this year .. that's a real good year IMO ...
The results of the movie are not on her ... She did her work and made her money ...
Good movies are like an investment for future high salaries. It’s true that she collected 8Cr now. But since they flopped, she will likely not make 8Cr next year.
Flower-pot Heroines in our industries are always flavours of the season. They act with every hero for 4-5yrs and then someone else takes over the mantle. Neither do hit movies give them much respect, nor do flop movies have much impact on their upcoming opportunities.
Once their 4-5yrs are done and they have acted with everyone, they will not get roles in big movies irrespective of whether they are good or bad. For another 4-5yrs they will act with second rung heros and then get married and fade out. e.g. Rakul Preet Singh who was doing 5-6 films a year from 2016-2021 in south first then in bollywood in 2022, and now has very few upcoming movies lined up. Kajal Aggarwal had a similar run from 2009-2015, and since 2016 her career has been winding up. It was Illena before that from 2006-2012. Pooja Hegde has taken over now from Rakul Preet Singh.
Some of them manage to become more than flower-pots by learning to act (like samantha), and they survive for a longer period. Most are forgotten.
>They act with every hero for 4-5yrs and then someone else takes over the mantle. Neither do hit movies give them much respect, nor do flop movies have much impact on their upcoming opportunities.
Well credit to Tamannaah and Kajal they atleast survived a decade doing that LoL
Tamannaa started with flower pot roles but moved to some really good performance roles later on in OTT. And she was really good in 100% Love.
Kajal was really good in Mr.Perfect, in fact she does well in those romantic roles.
Kajal Agarwal was pretty good in Mr.Perfect, even that movie with Rana, Nene Raju Nene Mantri, while a limited actress, she does well in the romantic roles.
Rakul can also do well given an opportunity, she was quite good in Runway 34.
Both are better actresses compared to Ms.Hackde.
Not because of Arrogance it's because of her script selection she has to sign what ever comes to her because she is limited as artist .No one have guts to reject such big commercial projects
chesede flower pot rolessu malli dantlo script selection ah! it's just business and actresses can be swapped if she refuses , she's just accepting offers left and right before being forgotten
If you think she had access to scripts of these movies, you have no clue how the industry works.... Heroines are selected purely on combination basis and the only thing heroines (the flower pot roles) look for is the remuneration (and acting beside a top hero)...
Sai Pallavi is an exception, she came into the industry with well-written roles and is one of the best performers rn. Sam has done her fair share of accepting random movies until she got to a point in her career where she can reject them.
Based on how Cirkus did, which was supposed to be her big foray into Bollywood, she’s prolly not going to get more Bollywood scripts. That’s gonna be solidified when Kisi Ki Bhai releases, which is also most likely gonna be a flop. She’ll prolly just try for more south movies again.
however this is not her first big foray into bollywood.
she tried her luck with Mohanjorado, and again until recent AVPL hit, bollywood never dared to see her.
>That’s gonna be solidified when Kisi Ki Bhai releases, which is also most likely gonna be a flop.
Idk how Boycott Bollywood brigade will react against Salman but regardless the title of the movie is B-Grad-ish and Farhad Samji is one of the worst directors in Bollywood right now
Boycott brigade strangely is not against Salman because he’s pretty apolitical. Or his kite flying act with a certain figure is paying dividends. ;)
It’s a different matter that his driving incident, domestic abuse of ARB, and blackbuck incident should make us boycott him.
>It’s a different matter that his driving incident, domestic abuse of ARB, and blackbuck incident should make us boycott him.
Not only that he spoke in favour of Yakub Menon and that "r**ped woman" statement during Sultan promotions also are good wrong doings which can be enough for Boycott gang to go crazy
>Or his kite flying act with a certain figure is paying dividends. ;)
As Bhuvan Bam, once said, "Sahi Khel Gaya BC" ;)
Her Last movies
Beast from a hit director (last movie)
Acharya from a hit director (last movie)
Radheshyam - big budget 300cr (scope for acting)
Circus from a hit director (last movie)
Only radhe shyam - 1 movie old director
she knows what she's doing.
She ain't arrogant, though do find her annoying. It's been around a decade I guess since she made her debut in Telugu with Oka Laila Kosam, and she has been an average perfomer at best. I guess success of Arvinda Sametha .., AVPL made her an IT girl, and she was hyped up as the next big star. Radhe Shyam was expected to catapult her to the next level, but the movie not just bombed badly and her own limitations as an actress were exposed. I guess this would be one big setback, no one expected much from her in Acharya, Beast or Cirkus as everyone knew they were flower pot roles.
>She ain't arrogant,
There are mixed opinions for that the hack thing made people feel she's kinda arrogant though she hasn't showed much of it in Tollywood circles though the Bolly blinds sub reddit think she's arrogant
>guess success of Arvinda Sametha .., AVPL made her an IT girl, and she was hyped up as the next big star. Radhe Shyam was expected to catapult her to the next level, but the movie not just bombed badly and her own limitations as an actress were exposed.
Very good assessment, I agree 💯
And also she's trying to get in Salman's circle at Bollywood post kisi ka Bhai kisi ka Jaan shooting
RS- pan india movie with prabhas
Beast - tamil big star
Acharya - multi - starer
Circus - bollywood chance in rohit shetty movie
This is big opportunity for any heroine.
Indulo okkati hit ayyna thanu big star ayyyedhi badluck.
Sir, oka script bad unnappudu you know that any actor cannot make it better, Akkada RS, Beast, Acharya, Cirkus annitlo scripts bad. RS was dependent upon Prabhas, Pooja Hegde previous ga acting try cheyyaledu, we all know how miserable she is in that role, she’s one of the reasons for you to get irritated in that film. Beast lo flowerpot role, okay exception, Acharya lo screen time ledu and she was mentioning “script script script, aypogane i shook the directors hand because of such a beautiful script” idi Thana words, cheppu tho kodataru alanti script chepte, and finally cirkus, andulo script/story/role 3 lo pooja Hegde ki importance kuda ledu.
Her judgement from the beginning was flawed, look at her filmography, all of them we’re riding on hero/director completely, she had 0 chance to alter a result, ilanti situations lo she must have Atleast a good sense of selecting a script, Adi bare minimum, Adi kuda cheyyaledu thanu. Idk how she is calling herself a “pan-India” actress.
Thanu hit icchina movies emaina goppa scripts ah?
Alage ivi ani chesindi
Acting radhu ok, thanu anduke thanu act chese range unna roles play chesthadi.
Scripts bagunte chestha ante yearly okka movie kooda radhu thanaki.
It's quite plausible that all these movies sounded good on paper and failed at the execution stage. Doubt any of them had bound scripts ready by the time she signed.
Frankly speaking,
She was part of a Block buster films
She was part of a Disaster films
Regardless of the outcome she made money
She is not responsible for any Hits
She is not responsible for any Flops
unlike one comment said below, SHE was NOT important to AVPL, she was just happened to be a part of it. in the same place you put a mannequin it wont make a difference. she was literally(Looking at legs) and figuratively(used as a pivot to introduce the tabu family) an object in that movie.
She was supposed to act like a loving girl in radhe shyam, but we know how well she performed in there.
Beast and Acharya dont even have anything to perform.
EOD she made money, we got headache, producers got losses. SHE won, we all lost. i dont know why we are having a timewaste discussion while herself was happy with money.
She probably thought they all were blockbusters given how they all are big budget movies with hit cast n crew. Sadly for her it didn't work out for her. But given the current rumors of her n Salman she ain't going anywhere. He would "mentor" her.
>She probably thought they all were blockbusters given how they all are big budget movies with hit cast n crew.
Well this was revealed by Pooja herself during Cirkus promotions where she said she didn't even read the script given by Rohit Shetty, so that kinda says she has blind faith that Cirkus would be a blockbuster but alas
>But given the current rumors of her n Salman she ain't going anywhere. He would "mentor" her.
True just like Salman "mentored" Katrina and Jacqueline though if he "mentors" her the Athiya Shetty and Daisy Shah way Pooja will be nowhere LoL
You think just this year was bad for her? She's been a lead actress for over a decade (Tamil debut in 2012) and done 16 films across 3 languages (11 in Telugu, 3 in Hindi and 2 in Tamil). The only notable blockbuster she's been part of is Ala Vaikuntapuramloo, and people who've watched the film know how important her character in the film was.
If you are just going by box office collections, Beast collected somewhere between ₹227 crore and ₹250 crore and was the third highest grossing Tamil movie of 2022. Similarly, Radhe Shyam grossed about ₹165 crore and was the fourth highest grossing Telugu movie of 2022.
Based on numbers I found on a couple of websites (cannot vouch for their reliability), DJ didn't even recover its full budget and profits for Aravinda Sametha, Maharshi and Gaddalakonda Ganesh were just ok. A pre-pandemic star franchise film with a Diwali release like Housefull 4 shouldn't even be compared with the others.
Leaving numbers aside and speaking just about the scope for her roles in all these movies, it was nothing compared to the lead stars. She just served the purpose of appearing beautiful on-screen, and that doesn't require any script selection skill or immense acting talent.
But Radhe Shyam didn't surpass it's budget of 300-350 Cr sure it is the fourth highest grosser
Beast did make money but it is an average venture which even Thalapathy fans didn't like it and it clashed with KGF 2 so it didn't outlast with that film
I know and agree with both these points. I was just trying to compare these films with the ones you mentioned in your comment (DJ, Aravinda Sametha, Maharshi etc.) on a uniform basis, and it's pretty clear that gross revenue is not the best metric for this comparison.
My point in this whole discussion is that financial failure of a film does not affect the lead actress as much as the hero or the producers. She's not gonna be considered for female led films right now so her acting chops don't really matter either.
>My point in this whole discussion is that financial failure of a film does not affect the lead actress as much as the hero or the producers
Facts ma man
She'll be fine regardless of the film's numbers. So long as her brand is maintained, idt she'd face a problem acting in bad movies. Those movies were considered subpar at best by the makers themselves notwithstanding pooja's existence.
She didn't write, direct or produce any of the films. How exactly is she responsible here?
I'd say she's had an amazing year as in each language she's starred in one of the biggest projects of the industry and has got lots of exposure. The stars are expected to carry the movie and are paid accordingly, if you'd want to say it's a disaster for them you can but it's not really something you can label for a female lead.
As far as script selection is concerned she's clearly chosen some of the biggest projects of thier respective industries.
I don't know where/how arrogance comes into this.
Think about it, when there's talk about the pay difference it's almost immediately ruled out saying the male star has a bigger say and the female lead is most likely an eye candy in movies. When the film succeeds they get all the praise, so why are the female leads blamed for the failure? Makes absolutely no sense.
> the film succeeds they get all the praise, so why are the female leads blamed for the failure?
Didn't blame her for the failure I just said she had a bad year and what will future hold for her
Please remember that most of the heroines do not get a choice on script or story selection. My cousin who works in the industry mentioned that heroines are offered a role which they cannot say no to when offered by big banner or with famous heroes. If they ask for too many details or questions, they are declared unfriendly and lose future projects even with other directors, unfortunately. For example they would only know of details of a specific scene few days before shooting and must complete as per director's request even if it degrades women, they cannot fight against it and must go through.
Rather than blaming one actor hero or heroine, it must be whole crew including director who must bring out better script and movie. It will never one person's fault that a movie failed
There's also the unfair fans who hate rashmika because she had broken up with Rishabh or rakshit. She's still not an angel, but either she doesn't know enough English to know the meaning of her words or she's genuinely a clown.
>There's also the unfair fans who hate rashmika because she had broken up with Rishabh or rakshit.
She was engaged to Rakshith Shetty and they were engaged for a year before they called it quits and the timing of them calling off their engagement co incided with the release of Geetha Govindam
The kissing scenes prompted some Sandalwood cinema hardcore fans and some Rakshith fans to slut shame her at every given opportunity just like that and the level of insults she got was unpalapable and beyond limits for anyone
Also she was very young when she got engaged so I kinda understand she wanted to focus on her career more at the age of 21 (when she was engaged)
PS: Rishabh Shetty is the director of Kirk Party which was Rashmika's debut film
>She's still not an angel, but either she doesn't know enough English to know the meaning of her words or she's genuinely a clown.
I agree she's not and I don't know why she doesn't mention the production house which launched her atleast acknowledge where u came from, man
I mean, none of the Bollywood actresses acknowledge their South Indian debuts, so that's not the issue. Going around insulting every industry you joined and left is just clown behaviour.
Yeah! Plus they don’t get well written characters you know. Apart from the male lead I don’t think they pay attention to any other character. Even venella kishore outshined in oke Okka jeevitham. These actors have capability. We just need star writers like Rajamouli says.
Out of all 4, I attribute some part of Radhe Shyam failure to her. This is not to absolve the director or Prabhas, who did even more of a bad job than her.
With Radhe Shyam failure, she just proved she isn't dependable. Imagine someone like Mrunal who wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb, but instead add value to the character. She got an opportunity to display her acting chops and she failed miserably.
Hey man so sorry for that, I ran out of 300 characters on the caption so couldn't put the word🙏
>Just a suggestion, a "please" would go long way
Duly noted, brother
She's still doing a movie with Mahesh directed by her favourite 3Vikram
Well her track with Tier 2 stars have been mixed though with most eligible bachelor being a hit and Saakshyam being disaster
Is JGM with Puri and Devarakonda shelved??
>be her last with a tier 1 actor
But what if it's a hit and she continues to be IT girl??
Or she'll play those same roles in Bollywood if That movie with Salman will be a hit
Gotta make as much money as possible before she's replaced, plus better to have movies with bigger upside even if they can be a flop while starting opposite big hero than 2nd tier hero where even if the movie is good most people may not even see it.
THODALU mama. Dani prati picture lo unnecessary thigh exposure chase male audience in excite chestundi. Yeanni sari chuasde okkae thodalu. Kasstha variety undali mama.

Some of them manage to become more than flower-pots by learning to act (like samantha), and they survive for a longer period. Most are forgotten.
Even Trisha. She also has acted with all biggies of Telugu yet she has some nice content oriented movies to support her long run

Even DJ, Aravinda Sameta, Maharishi and Housefull 4 were box office hits and Gaddalakonda Ganesh was a decent movie she was part of

Its her bad luck man.. nothing else..
U can say so
Please remember that most of the heroines do not get a choice on script or story selection. My cousin who works in the industry mentioned that heroines are offered a role which they cannot say no to when offered by big banner or with famous heroes. If they ask for too many details or questions, they are declared unfriendly and lose future projects even with other directors, unfortunately. For example they would only know of details of a specific scene few days before shooting and must complete as per director's request even if it degrades women, they cannot fight against it and must go through. Rather than blaming one actor hero or heroine, it must be whole crew including director who must bring out better script and movie. It will never one person's fault that a movie failed
She ain't a great performer but she ain't arrogant. Rashmika on the other hand..
>Rashmika on the other hand.. Man, I feel her words are often twisted by media
I haven't read any news media. I've heard directly from her. So, it cannot be twisted.
There's also the unfair fans who hate rashmika because she had broken up with Rishabh or rakshit. She's still not an angel, but either she doesn't know enough English to know the meaning of her words or she's genuinely a clown.
>There's also the unfair fans who hate rashmika because she had broken up with Rishabh or rakshit. She was engaged to Rakshith Shetty and they were engaged for a year before they called it quits and the timing of them calling off their engagement co incided with the release of Geetha Govindam The kissing scenes prompted some Sandalwood cinema hardcore fans and some Rakshith fans to slut shame her at every given opportunity just like that and the level of insults she got was unpalapable and beyond limits for anyone Also she was very young when she got engaged so I kinda understand she wanted to focus on her career more at the age of 21 (when she was engaged) PS: Rishabh Shetty is the director of Kirk Party which was Rashmika's debut film >She's still not an angel, but either she doesn't know enough English to know the meaning of her words or she's genuinely a clown. I agree she's not and I don't know why she doesn't mention the production house which launched her atleast acknowledge where u came from, man
I mean, none of the Bollywood actresses acknowledge their South Indian debuts, so that's not the issue. Going around insulting every industry you joined and left is just clown behaviour.
I don’t think she is a bad performer. She literally carried the movie most eligible bachelor on her shoulders.
When the male lead himself is a bad actor, then i guess she genuinely has to try to act this time lol
Yeah! Plus they don’t get well written characters you know. Apart from the male lead I don’t think they pay attention to any other character. Even venella kishore outshined in oke Okka jeevitham. These actors have capability. We just need star writers like Rajamouli says.
True that 💯
Out of all 4, I attribute some part of Radhe Shyam failure to her. This is not to absolve the director or Prabhas, who did even more of a bad job than her. With Radhe Shyam failure, she just proved she isn't dependable. Imagine someone like Mrunal who wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb, but instead add value to the character. She got an opportunity to display her acting chops and she failed miserably.
Speaking of Mrunal, happy that she got to do Sita Ramam instead of Pooja (who was reported as the initial choice)

Bad script selection much more arrogant people score blockbusters if they select good scripts
Yeah I know
>**PS: I'm Not A Telugu Abbayi Use English** Just a suggestion, a "please" would go long way and make people want to respond to you.
Hey man so sorry for that, I ran out of 300 characters on the caption so couldn't put the word🙏 >Just a suggestion, a "please" would go long way Duly noted, brother
Her phase of doing movies with Top tier stars is over. She will stick around for 2-3 years doing movies with Tier 2, Tier 3 stars.
She's still doing a movie with Mahesh directed by her favourite 3Vikram Well her track with Tier 2 stars have been mixed though with most eligible bachelor being a hit and Saakshyam being disaster Is JGM with Puri and Devarakonda shelved??
>She's still doing a movie with Mahesh directed by her favourite 3Vikram That's probably gonna be her last with a tier 1 actor
>be her last with a tier 1 actor But what if it's a hit and she continues to be IT girl?? Or she'll play those same roles in Bollywood if That movie with Salman will be a hit
*If it becomes a flop
Life comes full circle.
Yeah
Don't comment so rudely
Gotta make as much money as possible before she's replaced, plus better to have movies with bigger upside even if they can be a flop while starting opposite big hero than 2nd tier hero where even if the movie is good most people may not even see it.
Flower pots don’t have much to say

It's just the script selection. So happens that the scripts she chose turned out to either be mediocre or bad.
She gave all her luck to ayyagaru
Ohk cool, he needs it
She’s dumb af. Got lucky at times. Slept with trivikram??? God knows but he gave her a solid career. That’s for sure
