Sreeleela has taken Telugu cinema by storm, starring in back-to-back blockbusters last year, including Bhagavant Kesari opposite Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK) and Guntur Kalam opposite Mahesh Babu. Now, the southern sensation is set to feature in a Hindi film, which will reportedly mark her Bollywood debut.
Is Sreeleela interested in entering Bollywood?
Saif Ali Khan’s son has already wrapped up shooting for an upcoming Hindi film and is rumoured to have also begun shooting for his next with Maddock Films, which is reportedly titled ‘Diler’ and will be directed by Kunal Deshmukh.
Reports suggest that Sreeleela may feature in the project opposite Ibrahim and is in talks with the Tollywood star. Whether Sreeleela is planning to make a switch to the Hindi film industry will become clearer if the news of her joining the cast of “Dillaar” proves to be true. She is known not only for her charming personality but also for her dancing skills and screen presence.
Sree Leela follows in the footsteps of her contemporaries in the South
Sreeleela will be following in the footsteps of some of the star heroines from southern cinema who have recently started making waves in the Hindi film industry – Rashmika Mandanna, Keerthi Suresh, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the list goes on. Interestingly, many Hindi film heroines are also lining up for action in several regional films releasing this year, including Deepika Padukone in Kalki 2898 AD, Janhvi Kapoor in Devara and Shanaya Kapoor’s next opposite Mohanlal.
