As Pooja Hegde’s film “Retro” marked its one-year anniversary in theaters, the actress looked back on the challenging yet surprisingly smooth process of its creation. She shared a collection of videos and photos from the shoot of this Karthik Subbaraj romantic action movie starring Suriya. The visuals captured moments of her portraying the character Rukmini, including scenes of a ligament tear, a boat catching fire, and braving a heavy storm during filming.
Reflecting on the past year with “Retro,” Pooja Hegde acknowledged the potential chaos that could have ensued but emphasized that the experience was far from it. Despite facing obstacles like a ligament tear, a boat fire, and adverse weather conditions, she described the shooting as being filled with positivity and laughter. Pooja expressed gratitude towards the team, particularly director Karthik Subbaraj and actor Suriya, for their support and belief in her portrayal of Rukmini.
In “Retro,” the storyline revolves around Paarivel “Paari” Kannan, an orphan raised by a gangster, as he navigates betrayal, encounters a violent cult, seeks his true identity, fulfills a prophecy, and strives to reunite with his lost love, Rukmini. Meanwhile, Pooja Hegde is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film “Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai,” directed by David Dhawan, scheduled to hit screens on June 5. The movie reportedly explores a narrative of a young man rejected by numerous women, finding solace in solitude until a divine intervention leads to a transformative shift in his perspective.
