SreeLeela’s Career on the Upswing in Tamil
Upcoming projects with major stars will bolster the actress’ prospects
Despite a shaky start in Tamil cinema, with Parasakthi failing at the box office, Sree Leela now appears to be firmly on an upward trajectory in Kollywood. The young actress has managed to land some enviable projects.
Having already bagged a key role opposite Dhanush in his 55th film, Sree Leela seems likely to co-star with Ajith Kumar in a project directed by Adhik Ravichandran, which also features Malayalam legend Mohanlal in a pivotal role.
Reports about her possible inclusion in the Ajith Kumar film first surfaced in August last. They gained momentum after she was spotted with director Adhik Ravichandran at a racing event in Dubai last year. And being seen with Ajith Kumar has reignited rumours that she will be playing an important role in the film.
“Working with stars like Dhanush will give Sree Leela the much-needed break and mileage in Kollywood,” says director Ashok Teja. “Working with big stars is always a safer route in commercial cinema... After working with Telugu superstars, she is now getting opportunities with top Tamil stars, which is a testament to her growing popularity...,” Ashok Teja said.
The success of these upcoming films could cement Sree Leela’s position in the Tamil film industry.
