Whenever actress Ileana comes to Hyderabad to promote her Hindi films, she would say that she is not getting offers from Tollywood. The truth is that she has been offered a few films here, but she’s not interested. The actress was the first choice for Dhruva, which released last year, but she didn’t accept it citing remuneration. And then another top producer approached her to act opposite another star hero, but she didn’t show any interest.
“Recently, Ileana was approached to act opposite Ravi Teja for the Telugu remake of the Tamil hit Bhogan. But Ileana said ‘no’ to it,” says a source. The makers then approached Catherine Tresa and finalised her.
According to a source, Ileana doesn’t want to get into Tollywood again and wants to concentrate only on Hindi. “If she signs Telugu films, she is scared that she may lose her Hindi projects,” added the source. Interestingly, Ileana made her film debut with a Telugu film and later she became a star, and shifted her base to Mumbai.
