Tollywood’s top heroine Sreeleela is demonstrating she’s here to stay. Though she had a cold start with Pelli SandaD, the young actress rose to fame with blockbuster Dhamaka, setting the stage for several high-profile assignments.
In 2023, she co-starred with superstar Mahesh Babu in Guntur Kaaram. Although the movie failed to meet expectations, Sreeleela’s career trajectory was not impacted. Her big break came with Pushpa 2, when her scintillating “KISSIK” item number went viral, increasing her popularity throughout India. The song not only infused spice into the movie but also propelled Sreeleela to pan-India stardom, with offers pouring in from Bollywood and the Tamil film industry.
Now, trade insiders are abuzz with the news of Sreeleela perhaps making an appearance in a special song in Peddi, Ram Charan’s highly awaited film under Uppena fame Buchi Babu Sana. Janhvi Kapoor is already attached to the project as the heroine, which has set high hopes around the project.
According to sources, Buchi Babu is crafting a high-energy mass number for the film, and the team believes Sreeleela is the perfect choice to light up the screen. Following the roaring success of her item song in Pushpa 2, producers are eager to cast a proven performer like her, rather than taking risks with a new face.
Close sources reveal that Sreeleela is open to doing special numbers. Sharing the screen with Ram Charan, especially in a track composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman, would be a dream come true for any actress—and Sreeleela is no exception.
Though an official confirmation is still pending, talks are reportedly in progress. Meanwhile, fans have already taken to social media, expressing excitement over the possibility of seeing Sreeleela set the dance floor ablaze once again.
With Buchi Babu known for his Sukumar-inspired filmmaking style, a standout item song seems almost certain in Peddi. Whether Sreeleela will headline it remains to be seen, but anticipation is building fast.
