Sreeleela Bags ₹4 Crore For Debutant's Movie?

According to a leading celebrity manager, reigning actress Sreeleela is reportedly pocketing a whopping ₹4 crore for her role in the upcoming film Junior, opposite debutant actor Kireeti Reddy. “Why else would she agree to do a film with a newcomer if not for the fancy pay cheque?” the celebrity manager quipped, while dismissing social media rumours that she settled for just ₹2.5 crore. “These are baseless rumours. Top heroines know their market value and never compromise on what they rightly deserve,” he added.

With Sreeleela now expanding her horizons to Bollywood and Kollywood and collaborating with notable stars, her demand is on the rise. “She’s undoubtedly one of the most happening actresses today, and her social media following is proof of her popularity. Her song Viral Vyayari alone crossed 12 million views — thanks largely to her presence and energetic dance moves, which added immense value,” he pointed out.

The manager further revealed that top heroines have their own yardsticks when it comes to remuneration. “If they’re working with established superstars like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, or NTR, they usually quote ₹1 crore less, acknowledging that the hero himself brings massive mileage and crowd-pulling power. But when paired with relatively new or younger heroes, they smartly increase their fee by ₹1–1.5 crore since they shoulder more responsibility to draw audiences,” he explained.

In Sreeleela’s case, it seems her rising fame and smart negotiation skills are paying off handsomely.
