It is not an easy task for an actress from the south to make her mark in the big Bollywood, and that too when there is another top league heroine in the same movie. But it looks like Ileana has broken those shackles and is currently becoming the blue eyed girl for the folks of Mumbai cine circuit.

Apparently, Ileana made her debut with the film ‘Barfi’ in Bollywood and it is heard that she is being showered with praises from all corners of Bollywood. Notable among them is legend Amitabh who reportedly stated ‘the lovely Ileana gave a matured and balanced performance’. Then came Karan Johar who said ‘Well done Ileana! Superb debut!’.

Even the ladies seem to be impressed as Lara Dutta called Ileana’s performance as ‘Superlative’ along with Dia Mirza and Sophie Chaudhry. Even debutante Alia Bhat has reportedly mentioned that Ileana ‘Ma’am’ has made a strong debut impression. From her end, Ileana thanked all and now stands tall for the ‘best debutante’ award.
