More troubles for Sreeleela in Tollywood; dropped from 3rd film

Hyderabad: For every rising actor, the journey in the film industry is filled with highs and lows. While some stars climb smoothly, others face bumps before reaching stardom and it looks like Sreeleela is going through a similar phase right now.

The Tollywood newbie, who made a mark with films like Dhamaka and Bhagavanth Kesari, is now gearing up for her big Bollywood debut with a couple of projects lined up. But back home in Telugu cinema, things aren’t going as expected.

Sreeleela exits Akhil Akkineni’s film

After being dropped from two major projects — Anaganaga Oka Raju with Naveen Polishetty and an untitled Naga Chaitanya film, Sreeleela has now exited her third biggie: Akhil Akkineni’s political drama Lenin.

The film, directed by Kishore Abburu, features Akhil in a rugged new avatar. Sreeleela was initially roped in as the female lead and had even shot a few portions. However, citing date clashes, she has now stepped away from the project.

As per Great Andhra, the makers have reportedly brought on board Bhagyashri Borse as the new female lead, though an official announcement is still awaited.
