Pooja Hegde expresses interest to star in Sridevi's biopic, says 'I would love to act in that film'

Pooja Hegde, who has been a part of several hits and commercial potboilers, is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, Retro. Throughout her filmography, the actress has been a part of genre-defying films, however, she hasn’t stepped into the zone of biopics, yet. During a recent conversation, she expressed her desire to star in biopics. Interestingly, when asked whether she would love to be a part of Sridevi’s biopic, Pooja stated, “I already danced to her song, Elluvachi Godaramma. And, I would love to act in that film.”

She continued, “Biopic is something that I have not done before. However, it excites me to be a part of the stories about unsung heroes rather than famous persons. At the same time, I also want to act in sports dramas.”

After having worked with some of the biggest stars in Bollywood and South, being a part of multiple blockbusters, demonstrating her acting dynamics with each role, and cementing herself as a ‘pan-India’ artist, Pooja Hegde seems to be the perfect fit to star in Sridevi’s biopic.

Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro is scheduled to hit the screens on May 1.
