Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo star Pooja Hegde reveals if she wanted to be a part of Shehzada; talks about Housefull 5
Kriti Sanon will be stepping into Pooja Hegde’s shoes for the Hindi remake of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, titled Shehzada, opposite actor Kartik Aaryan.
Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo became a major hit when it arrived in theatres two years ago. The engaging story as well as the incredible performances by superstar Allu Arjun and the gorgeous Pooja Hegde won hearts. Their chemistry, on the other hand, left audiences wanting more! As we all know, the action comedy drama is now being remade in Hindi and has been titled Shehzada . While Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan will step into the shoes of Allu Arjun, the very talented Kriti Sanon will be taking the reins of the female lead which was played by Pooja in the original.
Well, in a recent chat with ETimes, Pooja was asked if she would have liked to be a part of the Hindi remake of her blockbuster hit. To this, the beauty replied, “I have played the part and I am done living it. I wish Kriti all the luck with this film. She was my co-star in Housefull 4 and we’ve had a great working relationship. I love the memories attached to Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo. ButtaBomma became such a huge success and so did the film. It found its way into the hearts of the audience. That’s good enough for me.”
Pooja went on to add, “And if you look at it, even Allu sir is not reprising his role in the remake. Besides, I don’t want to revisit the journeys I’ve already completed in the past. I would rather do something new.” The actress also opened up about the next installment in the Housefull series after the 4thpart, which featured her and Kriti. Pooja shared that she is not sure about what’s happening and the best people to ask about it are her co-star Akshay Kumar and producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
The actress was last seen in the recently released period romantic drama Radhe Shyam, opposite Prabhas .
