Pooja Hegde: The Only Actress Who Has Shared Screen with All Three Akkineni Heroes

Pooja Hegde’s Unique Association with the Akkineni Family in Tollywood

The Akkineni family holds a special place in the hearts of Tollywood fans, with their legacy reaching far and wide in the industry. Nagarjuna, as the torchbearer of this legacy, rose to stardom with numerous hits in the 80s and 90s, following in the footsteps of his late father, Nageswara Rao. However, in recent years, the Akkineni heroes — Nagarjuna, his son Naga Chaitanya, and his younger son Akhil — have faced the challenge of scoring a solid hit, despite their continuous efforts in the film industry.

After his recent movie Naa Samiranga failed to meet expectations, Nagarjuna found success through his hosting role in Bigg Boss, but he remains busy with several upcoming projects. He is set to appear in the film Kubera alongside Dhanush and in Coolie alongside Rajinikanth, both directed by renowned filmmakers Sekhar Kammula and Lokesh Kanagaraj, respectively.

Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya is gearing up for his next film, Thandel, which is progressing quickly, while Akhil is determined to turn things around after the disappointment of Notion Agent.

In the midst of this, there is one actress who has had the rare privilege of sharing screen space with all three Akkineni heroes. While many actresses have worked with father and son, Pooja Hegde stands out as the only actress who has acted with the entire Akkineni clan.

Pooja made her Tollywood debut in the film Laila Majnu opposite Naga Chaitanya, marking her entry into the industry. She then went on to star with Akhil in Most Eligible Bachelor, where her chemistry with the actor was widely appreciated. Though she never starred with Nagarjuna in films, she did share the screen with him in advertisements, creating a special connection with all three Akkineni heroes.

Currently, Pooja Hegde is focusing on her career, with her next major project being with Thalapathy Vijay in a highly anticipated film. Despite a series of flops, Pooja continues to be a popular name in the industry, and her unique association with the Akkineni family only adds to her charm.
