What's Talk On Sreeleela After Her Tamil Debut?
While Parasakthi got slammed by critics, the makers accepted that the anti-Hindi rhetoric would win the hearts of the audience. Surprisingly, that too didn’t happen.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 13 Jan 2026 7:43 PM ISTCurrently a 24-year-old, dazzling Telugu beauty from Bengaluru, Sreeleela made her debut in Telugu back in 2021 with the movie PelliSandaD. Within a short time, for her glamorous looks and amazing dance moves, she has made it to the top, acting with the likes of Mahesh Babu, Raviteja and now Pawan Kalyan.
With a string of flops troubling her in Telugu, including the likes of Aadikesava, Extra, Guntur Kaaram, Robinhood, Junior, and Mass Jathara, the actress started to look at other tinsel towns as well. She’s making her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu’s film opposite Karthik Aryan and made her Tamil debut with Siva Karthikeyan’s Parasakthi, which released last week.
While Parasakthi got slammed by critics, the makers accepted that the anti-Hindi rhetoric would win the hearts of the audience. Surprisingly, that too didn’t happen. The film struggled to collect ₹25 crores nett so far, and might not even touch the ₹50 crore mark in its full run, while the making cost of the movie is more than ₹150 crores, as per reports. Coming to Sreeleela, even the talk around her is also pretty. negative.
Despite promoting the film big time in the same wig she used during the movie, the actress hasn’t seen any respite, both at the box office and with critics. They have slammed her for poor acting skills, and being unable to carry the role on her shoulders, while hardcore Tamil audiences expressed disappointment with her poor Tamil dubbing. That made Sreeleela add another flop film to her kitty.
