Sreeleela moves closer to Bollywood with big sequel talks
Not all leaps from South to Bollywood come quietly, and Sreeleela’s next step is making the right kind of noise.
By: Tupaki Desk | 12 May 2025 3:13 PM ISTNot all leaps from South to Bollywood come quietly, and Sreeleela’s next step is making the right kind of noise. After grabbing attention with her natural screen charm and effortless dance energy, the young actress is reportedly locking in her second Hindi film even before her debut one, Aashiqui 3, hits theatres.
The buzz is around Dostana 2, the much-awaited sequel to Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham’s 2008 cult hit. With Vikrant Massey and Lakshya said to be finalised as the male leads, the latest update is that Karan Johar’s team has approached Sreeleela to headline the project. Talks are said to be in advanced stages, and if all goes well, an official confirmation might drop soon.
Interestingly, this move suggests that Sreeleela is looking to balance her mass popularity in Telugu cinema with a long-term Bollywood strategy. Her current Telugu lineup includes Mass Jatara, Parashakti, and other commercial entertainers that keep her firmly in the southern spotlight.
While it remains to be seen how quickly Dostana 2 takes off, one thing is clear Sreeleela is steadily building her pan-India appeal, one calculated move at a time.
