Sreeleela’s career in Telugu cinema has been a mix of highs and lows. She gained popularity with her hit film Dhamaka but her subsequent films like Aadikeshava, Skanda, and Extra did not meet expectations. Even her much-anticipated film with Mahesh Babu, Guntur Kaaram failed to achieve the desired success.
However, Sreeleela hasn’t allowed these setbacks to hold her back. In the meantime, she completed her MBBS degree and continues to receive offers from various industries. Currently, her only confirmed project is Robinhood, a film starring Nithin and directed by Venky Kudumula.
Recent rumors suggest that Sreeleela could be part of an exciting new project that might significantly elevate her career. Reports indicate that she is being considered for a role in Sudha Kongara’s upcoming film Purananoor. Although these are just speculations for now, the news has created a buzz among fans and industry insiders.
For those unfamiliar, Purananoor was officially announced last year and initially had Suriya, Dulquer Salmaan, and Nazriya in the lead roles. The movie is expected to be a powerful drama set against the backdrop of the anti-Hindi imposition movement. However, Suriya recently exited the project, causing uncertainty about the film’s future. Sivakarthikeyan is now set to take over Suriya’s role, and there are also rumors that director Lokesh Kanagaraj will portray the antagonist in the film. Now, there is speculation that Sreeleela might join this ensemble cast.
If these rumors are true, it could be a significant development for Sreeleela’s career. She has often been criticized for choosing commercial films that primarily focus on glamour, leaving her with limited roles. Collaborating with Sudha Kongara, who is known for creating strong female characters and impactful narratives, could provide Sreeleela with the opportunity to showcase her acting abilities in a more meaningful way. Actresses like Aparna Balamurali and Ritika Singh, who have worked with Sudha, have received widespread acclaim and even won National Awards for their performances. If this project materializes, it could be the turning point that Sreeleela has been waiting for.
