Pooja Hegde reacts to the box office failure of ‘Cirkus’, ‘Radhe Shyam and ‘Acharya’ – Times of India

Pooja Hegde is gearing up for the release ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ which sees her pair up with Salman Khan on screen for the first time. The film also stars Venkatesh, Shehnaaz Gill, Palak Tiwari, Vijender Singh among others. While Hegde has some really big films lined up, her past few movies haven’t done well at the box office. Pooja was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’ opposite Ranveer Singh. The film didn’t meet expectations at the box office and everyone was quite heartbroken about it.
Moreover, Pooja’s big movie ‘Radhe Shyam’ with Prabhas and ‘Acharya’ also didn’t do well. Reacting to the failure of these movies, Pooja said in an interview that it’s a part and parcel of her job. It’s not she who has failed, it is the film which didn’t do well. She said that she’s not the director of the film, nor is she making the cuts. Moreover, she does her best in every film and the feedback which she’s got for her performance in all these films has been great.

Pooja confessed that there was something nice which people have come and told her about every performance and have liked her screen presence. The fact that she could showcase her range as a performer in every film was great. However, the failure of these films haven’t affected her. She got the most of those films. She expressed that at one point, she had six blockbusters in a row and she didn’t say anything to God, so now if 1-2 films flopped, why should she complain? She’s only benefitted out of these films because now she has ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ coming up and 2-3 other announcements in different languages.
Recently, in an exclusive chat with ETimes, Pooja refuted rumours of relationship with Salman Khan.
