After two big-banner releases including ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ (2021) and ‘Radhe Shyam’ (2022), Pooja Hegde has wowed the audience in theatres with her terrific star presence in Nelson Dilipkumar’s ‘Raw (Beast)’, which released today. The alluring actress inspired a massive fan frenzy at a theatre in Chennai, where she went to watch the first day, first show of ‘Raw (Beast)’ along with the audience. Undoubtedly, the actress has some of the most ardent fans, who welcomed her homecoming to Tamil cinema and brought in festival-like celebrations at the theatres.
Hundreds of viewers gathered at the mere sight of her. The crowd puller signed ‘I love you’ and blew air kisses to them before she headed to theatre to watch the film. Her fans were spotted bursting crackers outside the theatres, which was bedecked in lights. The stunning actress was seen waving out to her fans, who performed the popular hook step of the movie’s superhit song “Arabic Kuthu”.
Pooja posted a video of the highlights of her first day first show at the theatre on her socials. In the caption, she wrote, “A tradition I’ve maintained for almost all my Telugu films and hopefully the start of a new tradition for me in Tamil. First day first show of ‘Beast’ with the fans. So gratifying to be part of a celebration of cinema and theatre. Everyone…Get your Beast Mode ON. #FDFS #Beast #allaboutlove #arabickuthu #thalapathyvijay.”
When asked about her experience of watching the film with the audience, Pooja said, “It was an amazing experience watching it with the audience. I always watch all my films with the audience, but this is super special. Full mass movie. I want to watch it again and again. That’s the feeling and I hope that you’ll enjoy the film. Loved seeing the reaction to the “Arabic Kuthu” song.”
Pooja will be seen next in Salman Khan’s ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’, ‘Cirkus’ opposite Ranveer Singh and ‘SSMB 28’ opposite Mahesh Babu.
