Pooja Hegde, the 'Butta Bomma' girl, has distanced herself from Tollywood. Until two years ago, star heroes in Telugu cinema would choose Pooja Hegde as their first option for the female lead. Directors and producers also believed that having Pooja Hegde in a film would be advantageous in terms of glamour. But ever since 'Radhe Shyam' flopped, her graph started declining, and her subsequent exit from the 'Guntur Kaaram' film further distanced her from Tollywood.

While it's unclear how things would have turned out if Pooja Hegde had starred in the film Guntur Kaaram, the role she was supposed to play was ultimately done by Sreeleela. However, Telugu audiences are greatly missing the 'Butta Bomma' actress. Of course, new heroines have entered the scene. Rashmika is already continuing her super form. Sreeleela and Bhagyashree, among other new heroines, are showcasing their talent. Even so, the general sentiment among Telugu audiences is that Pooja Hegde should be given more opportunities.
