She was chosen after Mysskin had seen still photographs of her outstanding performance, and Hegde helped to practice Tamil dialog for the film by writing and memorizing words in English, adding that the resemblance between Tamil and her native language Tulu was also useful. Prior to the movie, the film raised high expectations as a result of the novel concept of the Tamil film superhero, and the film debuted at the box office in August 2012. Nevertheless, the film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, hindering its development, and the film ended up being a surprise commercial failure. Hegde's performance also received mixed reviews with Sify.com reviewers, stating that she was "disappointed," while the Hindu reviewer noted that "she doesn't have much talent to prove."

The romantic-action film, set in the background of a village, will be published at the end of 2014. In her second Telugu film, Hegde inspired many with her memorable performance in Mukunda's Gopikamma album.

In July 2014, Hegde decided to make her Bollywood debut in front of Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowariker's period film Mohenjo Daro, set against the backdrop of the Indus Valley civilization. She was chosen after Gowariker's wife had seen her in an advertisement and called her to the audition, which she had successfully completed. As a result of her commitment to the film, she revealed that she would take a break from performing in regional Indian movies until her Hindi film was released and refused the opportunity to work in a film directed by Mani Ratnam.

Mohenjo Daro released a major box office flop in 2016. The film was destroyed by the critics.
