Pooja Hegde has done films with all the star actors in Telugu cinema. A series of flops left her back in the race. Though she received numerous offers, the actress quoted hefty remuneration after which the filmmakers started a hunt for other options. Pooja Hegde also troubled several producers in the past with her demands. Her staff had huge requests about their pay, star hotel accomodation and other allowances. This turned out to be a huge burden for the producers. Some of them had to bear the demands when she was in demand but after a series of flops, there were no takers for Pooja Hegde in Telugu cinema. She was replaced by several young beauties in Telugu films.

Pooja Hegde recently decided to reduce her remuneration considering the limited offers. She was roped in beside Vijay after the actress agreed to work for a low remuneration. This is almost half of the paycheque from her usual remuneration. Despite this, Pooja Hegde has no offers in Telugu cinema. No Telugu producer is casting Pooja Hegde currently. The actress is in plans to make her comeback in Tollywood after she slashed down her remuneration but there are no great offers for the dusky girl.
