Pooja Hegde has established herself as a prominent figure in both the Hindi and South Indian film industries. She has appeared in notable films such as "Beast," "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," and "Most Eligible Bachelor" in the South, as well as in the Bollywood film "Deva," showcasing her versatility across Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu cinema.
However, the actress expresses that she has experienced a greater sense of empowerment in the South Indian film industry. When questioned about whether South Indian films have recognized her contributions as a heroine more than those in Hindi cinema, she confidently stated, "For sure, I don't think there is anything wrong in saying that."

The opportunities I have encountered have been significantly empowering, allowing me to explore my characters in depth. The chances I have received have all been in theatrical productions. It is important to acknowledge that the audience ultimately determines my success, as their decision to purchase a ticket reflects their interest. When individuals are willing to invest financially, I consider that to be the highest form of praise.
As a 'producer's actor,' Pooja elaborated on her desire to take on diverse roles, noting the scarcity of well-written parts for women. She referenced films such as All We Imagine as Light, Anora, and Laapatha Ladies, expressing her eagerness to participate in similar projects, emphasizing her identity as a 'producer's actor.'
The Jana Nayagan actor also expressed her willingness to invest in projects that resonate with her and that she believes deserve to be told.
