# Pooja Hegde turns 36, Sri Sri team releases birthday poster 2026-10-13T07:18:05+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actress Pooja Hegde turned 36 on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. The team of her upcoming film Sri Sri marked the occasion by unveiling a birthday poster showing Hegde in a maroon kurti against a royal backdrop. The poster features the caption: ‘You made this story all the more beautiful with your charm and grace.’ The film also stars Dulquer Salmaan and Dheekshith Shetty, directed by Ravi Nelakuditi and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner. Sri Sri was previously set for a December 4, 2026 release, but sources indicate a new date is expected. The story is described as a youthful campus romance exploring first love, memories, and second chances. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets lead with the same birthday-first news and report identical poster details, cast and crew. The Hans India includes the full text of the film team’s social media post and names the writing contributor after the story, while 123Telugu adds a specific update on the film’s release date: the earlier December 4, 2026, date now faces a revision. The Hans India omits any mention of the release date change, focussing instead on the poster’s visual impact and the plot description of youthful romance and second chances. A reader combining both versions gets the birthday event, the poster reveal, and the new uncertainty around the release schedule. 123Telugu’s mention of the pending new release date is the most concrete forward-looking item either source provides. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehansindia.com (neutral report) Birthday-first framing, no release date mention - 123telugu.com (neutral report) Includes release date delay, adds news hook This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
