Sreeleela, who rose to the top heroine slot in Telugu cinema in a short span, is now facing negative buzz in Tollywood.
Rumors suggest that she’s distancing herself from the very industry that catapulted her to stardom, instead prioritizing projects in Bollywood and Kollywood, allegedly causing inconvenience to Telugu filmmakers.
Currently, Sreeleela is part of a few Telugu films, including Ustaad Bhagat Singh with Pawan Kalyan and Lenin with Akhil Akkineni. Alongside these, she has also signed Tamil and Hindi films.
Industry talk suggests she is giving more priority to those non-Telugu projects, delaying Telugu shooting schedules.
From the beginning, Sreeleela has been known as a family-oriented girl, with her mother actively involved in shaping her career.
Now, it is being speculated that her mother is steering her more towards Bollywood, sidelining Telugu projects — something Telugu producers are reportedly unhappy about.
There’s a growing comparison with actor Tarun’s past, where his mother Roja Ramani was often blamed for mismanaging his career.
Similarly, insiders are now suggesting that Sreeleela’s mother might be pushing her daughter in the wrong direction.
Amidst all this, reports say she might be dropped from one of her Telugu films — Lenin starring Akhil Akkineni — and could be replaced by another heroine.
Perhaps Sreeleela feels she has done enough in Telugu and is now keen on exploring Bollywood more aggressively?
