Sreeleela, known for her breakout in Telugu cinema with 'Pelli SandaD' and her star turn in 'Dhamaka', is reportedly considering a move to Mumbai as her focus shifts towards Bollywood. After a string of collaborations with Telugu heavyweights in films like 'Skanda', 'Bhagavanth Kesari', and 'Guntur Kaaram', her recent Telugu releases have seen mixed box office results. This shift in fortunes has coincided with a noticeable expansion into other film industries.
According to reports, Sreeleela's Hindi film lineup is growing. She is currently shooting for Anurag Basu's romantic musical, said to be titled 'Tu Meri Zindagi Hai', where she stars opposite Kartik Aaryan. The project, filmed in Mumbai, marks her Bollywood debut. Additionally, she has reportedly signed on for 'Diler' with Ibrahim Ali Khan and is in discussions for another film featuring Janhvi Kapoor. These new commitments are believed to be a driving factor behind her possible relocation to Mumbai.
Sreeleela has also ventured into Kollywood with her Tamil debut 'Parasakthi' and is part of Dhanush's upcoming film 'OM'. While her Telugu slate has thinned, she remains in talks for the debut film of Mokshagnya, which is expected to begin production soon.
Despite the speculation, there has been no official confirmation from Sreeleela or her team regarding a permanent move away from Hyderabad. Industry sources suggest that the Mumbai shift is currently motivated by work opportunities rather than a complete exit from Telugu cinema. For now, her career appears to be entering a new phase, with Bollywood at the forefront.
