Pushpa: The Rise is one of the biggest blockbusters post-pandemic that has won the hearts of millions of Indians across the globe. It has made a massive impact on the minds of the young and old alike and its super-duper success has also added to the popularity of its leading stars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna.
Apart from that, Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s hot item number from the movie has also given her a pan India recognition making her the darling of many young hearts.
In a way, Pushpa has been a boon for these two actresses from the South because they are getting good offers not only from the regional movie directors but also from Bollywood. While Rashoo had wrapped up shooting for her two Bollywood flicks before the release of Pushpa: The Rise, post the movie’s massive success she is being considered against some big B-town actors. She has already started shooting for Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
Samantha will also be seen next with Varun Dhawan and is also getting some good offers from Bollywood. And that is why she has decided to make Mumbai her second home and bought a property with a sea view in the city.
Coming to Pooja Hegde, she debuted in Bollywood years before Rashmika and Sam thought of trying their luck in the Hindi film industry. The beauty queen also got a big launch from Ashutosh Gowarikar and was paired opposite none other than the heartthrob of India Hrithik Roshan. But the movie could not give the right momentum to Pooja’s career and hence, she focused her attention on the Southern movie industry and became a superstar.
Over the years she has worked in many South movies as well as a few Bollywood flicks like Housefull 4 and Mohenjo Daro and also has a few Hindi movies like Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus and Salman Khan’s Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali in hand. But her stardom seems to have received a backseat after Radhe Shyam, her pan India movie with Prabhas failed to impress the Indian audience. Also, her movie Beast with Thalapathy Vijay did well only in the Southern belt but could not make an impact similar to other movies like KGF 2, RRR, and Pushpa 1 in the north.
