"By all accounts, it should've been chaos. But it wasn't. - Pooja Hegde"

Mumbai, May 1

As her film "Retro" completed one year in cinema on Friday, actress Pooja Hegde reminisced about the whirlwind journey behind its making and said that by all accounts, it should've been chaos. However, it wasn't.

Pooja shared an album full of videos and pictures from the shoot of the Karthik Subbaraj romantic action film starring Suriya.

The clips and pictures featured the actress in the character of Rukmini, along with glimpses of her ligament tear, the boat catching fire, and the heavy storm they faced while making the movie.

"One year of RETRO Storms, a ligament tear, endless mud, our boat catching fire (Suhas, forever a hero ), and an island full of snakes...By all accounts, it should've been chaos. But it wasn't," wrote the actress.

Pooja said that the shooting was full of "good vibes."

"It was filled with peace, good vibes,a whole lot of laughter and a feeling of making something purely for the love of it. Because when you're creating with the right people, for the love of cinema, even the toughest days feel easy. @ksubbaraj our captain, thank you for believing i could be Rukku @actorsuriya," she added.

The film follows an orphan named Paarivel "Paari" Kannan, who is raised by a gangster. He faces betrayal and a violent cult as he searches for his true origins, fulfils a prophecy, and tries to reunite with his lost love, Rukmini.

Pooja currently awaits the release of her next Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which is slated to release on June 5.

Directed by David Dhawan, the film is reportedly about a boy who has been rejected by many women. He was in a relationship with loneliness. But then he receives help from God, and suddenly, his mind fills with many different thoughts.

For those who do not know, 'Hai Jawani Toh Pyaar Hona Hai' is a hit song from David Dhawan's film "Biwi No 1", featuring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen. The name of the forthcoming drama is believed to have been inspired from this popular track.

The boat catching fire sounds terrifying! But the way she talks about the team spirit makes me want to watch this movie. Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj make a great combo. Also, David Dhawan's new film sounds like a fun concept - hope it brings back his 90s magic! 🎬

Wow, this is nuts! An island full of snakes? 🐍 Not exactly my idea of a fun film set. But I guess that's what makes Indian cinema so epic - the lengths they go to for authenticity. Props to Pooja for braving it all, especially with a ligament tear!

Fond memories of watching 'Retro' in theatres. Pooja was brilliant as Rukmini, and the film had this raw, gritty feel that Karthik Subbaraj is known for. The behind-the-scenes struggles make me appreciate the final product even more. Also excited for 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' - David Dhawan's return to comedy!

One year already? Time flies! The film had its moments, but I think the story could have been tighter. Still, Pooja's commitment is undeniable - ligament tear hai toh bhi shoot kiya. That's the spirit! 👏

Love how Pooja always shares such heartfelt BTS moments. The fact that she credits the team shows she's a true team player. And snakes? 😳 That would have been my breaking point! Hope 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' brings back the classic David Dhawan vibes.
