Pan-India superstar Pooja Hegde leads by receiving a massive figure for a song

Special songs are not just special and eye-catching but also glitzy. They add to the glamour and opulence of commercial entertainers. That's why superstar actresses have been roped in to headline them from time to time.

Pooja Hegde recently shot for a special song in 'F3'. Anil Ravipudi and Devi Sri Prasad mounted a foot-tapping number for the Venkatesh-Varun Tej comedy. The gorgeous beauty is learned to have aced the song with ease.

The buzz is that the 'Maharshi' and 'Aravindha Sametha' sensation has pocketed an unbelievable figure for the song. Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations gave her Rs 1.75 Cr, we learn.

As things stand, this is the highest that an actress has been paid in the history of Telugu cinema for a special number. The 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' diva takes home up to Rs 3 Cr for a lead role. That's why her fee for 'F3' is not vastly surprising, a source comments.

For perspective, even Samantha Ruth Prabhu was paid not more than Rs 1.5 Cr for 'Oo Antaava' by the makers of 'Pushpa: The Rise'.
