Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is undoubtedly one of the most famous Telugu films. The movie was even dubbed and released in Hindi on YouTube, and it had received a good response. In fact, when Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo was remade in Hindi with Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon in the lead role as Shehzada, the movie had become a disaster.
Now, the film and Pooja are back in the news, and the reason behind it is that the actress in an interview recently called Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo a Tamil film. In an interview with ANI, Pooja stated, “Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is actually a Tamil film, it was not a pan-India film. But, people watched it in Hindi. So, if the work is good, it will reach people.”
Well, netizens are upset with her and are slamming the actress on social media. A netizen posted, “#hegdepooja What A Shame & Disgusting Even Your A Main Lead in #Alavaikunthapurramulo Telugu Film You are saying it As a Tamil Film.” Another X user posted, “. @hegdepooja Ala Vaikuntapuramlo Tamil movie ah When did it become? U don’t even remember the language of the movie u worked for? #poojahegde.”
One more user shared, “Madam.. you broke our hearts yaa Madam.. it’s TELUGU!!” Check out the posts below…
Sometimes netizens do become quite nasty and start trolling celebs. But, we are sure Pooja by mistake called Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo a Tamil film, and it was not done deliberately. Let’s see if Pooja will share a statement about it or not.
Meanwhile, the actress was seen in the recently released film Deva which starred Shahid Kapoor in the titular role. The movie received mixed reviews from the critics, and it has failed to leave a strong mark at the box office. In four days, the movie has collected Rs. 21.90 crore.
