Sreeleela Faces Bold Comparison to Anushka’s Iconic Grace!

Some roles are more like thrones, shiny from the outside but heavy when you sit on them. That’s the kind of weight Sreeleela might carry if she ends up playing the lead in the Hindi remake of Arundhati. The original film made Anushka Shetty a household name, and her performance still gives people chills after all these years. So, if this remake actually takes off, Sreeleela’s got a tall mountain to climb. It’s not just another spooky film, it’s stepping into something fans treat almost sacred.

Bollywood’s horror craze is picking up again, so the timing feels right. But with Arundhati, it’s a tricky game. The Bengali version that tried to recreate the magic earlier didn’t land well, and fans still compare every attempt to Anushka’s power-packed act. That means one small miss, and people will jump to draw comparisons. Sreeleela, who’s still building her ground after some uneven performances in Telugu cinema, needs this one to prove she’s got range beyond glamour and energy.

The film, as buzz goes, will be directed by Mohan Raja, the same guy who made Godfather with Megastar Chiranjeevi. That one didn’t really strike gold, so he’s also looking for redemption. And behind the scenes stands Allu Aravind, who’s known for giving his movies big setups and glossy treatment. The mix sounds promising, but only if they can find that same haunting soul the original carried.

For Sreeleela, this could go either way. If she nails it, it could lift her career to a whole new level. If not, she’ll be stuck under Anushka’s shadow, a tough place for any young actress to stand. Either way, it’s a brave move, and you can’t help but respect that.
