Birthday Special: 5 songs in which Pooja Hegde showcased her fantastic dance moves

Pooja Hegde started her career with the Tamil film Mugamoodi (2012). She later featured in many successful Telugu films and is also making a mark in the Hindi film industry.

Today, Hegde celebrates her 31st birthday, so let’s look at the list of five songs in which the actress showcased her fantastic dance moves…


Seeti Maar (DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham)

We have to start the list with the song Seeti Maar from the movie DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham. Allu Arjun and Hegde danced their heart out in the track and though the film was released in 2017, it is still one of the most loved Telugu songs.

Tu Hai (Mohenjo Daro)

Hegde made her Bollywood debut with the film Mohenjo Daro which also starred Hrithik Roshan in the lead role. The film didn’t do well at the box office, but AR Rahman’s music was the highlight of it. In the song Tu Hai, Hegde danced gracefully and grabbed everyone’s attention.

Jigelu Rani (Rangasthalam)

In 2018, Hegde featured in a special number titled Jigelu Rani in the film Rangasthalam. Well, it is clearly one of the best dance numbers featuring the actress. Her thumkas were simply excellent in the track.

Paala Pitta (Maharshi)

After Jigelu Rani, Hegde once again showcased her energetic dance moves in the song Paala Pitta. The track, which also featured Mahesh Babu, was a chartbuster, and Hegde surely stole the show in it.

ButtaBomma (Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo)

Well, the list would have been incomplete without the track ButtaBomma from Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. The song is famously known for its hook step, and Arjun and Hegde once again together created the magic on the big screen in the track.

Ranbir's 'Ramayana' will go global using AI, says producer Namit Malhotra

Producer Namit Malhotra is betting big on Ramayana, not just as a film for Indian audiences, but as a story that can speak to viewers across the world. At the WAVES Summit in Mumbai, Malhotra shared how the upcoming mythological drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is being developed with a global ambition, bringing together high-end tech with cultural roots.

He explained that the team isn’t just dubbing the film into other languages. Instead, they’re using real-time AI to match lip movements to multiple languages, so when audiences watch it in English, Spanish, or Japanese, it looks like the actors are actually speaking those tongues. The idea is to avoid the usual detachment of subtitles or awkward dubbing, and instead make the film feel native to each region.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.
