Pooja Hegde slammed by netizens:
Bollywood and South actress Pooja Hegde recently appeared in a Bollywood movie, Deva, opposite Shahid Kapoor, which turned out to be a flop at the box office. In one of her most successful movies, she starred opposite Allu Arjun in the Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. During a recent conversation with ANI, she mistakenly called it a Tamil film instead of Telugu, and netizens slammed her for this statement.

Pooja Hegde was quoted saying, “Actually, Ala Vaikunthapurramulo is a Tamil film and not a PAN Indian film. However, it was watched by the Hindi audience, too. In my opinion, if the work is good, it will reach more people.” Her slip of the tongue did not go well with Tollywood fans, and they are very upset with her. Check out a few reactions on Twitter/X below:
Dear @hegdepooja, you were the lead in #AlaVaikunthapurramuloo, a iconic Telugu film, and yet you referred to it as a Tamil film? Hope you correct this and give Telugu cinema the respect it deserves!#PoojaHegde #AlluArjun

Very shameful act by @hegdepooja #PoojaHegde worst from you. Telugu industry is feeding you from the beginning days. #Alavaikunthapurramulo is a straight #Telugu film not a Tamil Film. #AlluArjun

We can forgive PC for saying RRR was tamil film, since she didn't work in south that much...but someone like #PoojaHegde who did so many telugu movies and got popularity from here...saying #AVPL is tamil film is unacceptable #AlluArjun #Prabhas #TollyWood
