In the film industry, numerous actresses have delivered hit films and shared the screen with top stars, yet only a few manage to leave a lasting impact. While some faced a string of flops, they still captured the audience's attention through their beauty, talent, and unique charm, eventually earning popularity despite setbacks. Today, we are going to talk about one such actress who significantly gave flops but yet managed to seek the attention of cinema-lovers with her talent. Here, we are talking about a Telugu actress who made her debut in 2021 with the romantic drama Pelli Sandadi , which did not receive much appreciation. Despite receiving negative reviews, she showcased her talent and led to further opportunities. In 2022, she starred in the Kannada romantic comedy By Two Love , where her performance was praised, although her Kannada pronunciation received huge backlash from the audience. Sreeleela's Interest In Dancing and… The actress was born on July 14, 2001, in United States and was raised in Bangalore, India. From a young age, she showed interest in dance and trained in Bharatanatyam, which helped shape her expressive abilities. While growing up, she balanced her passion for the arts with academics. Despite entering the film industry at a young age, Sreeleela pursued her studies seriously and enrolled in medical school and and after that, she got her MBBS degree from Bangalore Medical College. Sreeleela's Career In Telugu Cinema In the same year, she featured with Telugu superstar Ravi Teja in action-thriller flick Dhamaka . During its promotional tour, she adopted Guru and Shobhitha, who are two differently abled children. According to reports by Deccan Chronicle, she struck an instant connection with children during a visit to an orphanage in 2022 and vowed to help them live a better existence. This gesture of Sreeleela received immense praise and love, but it didn't helped her movie. After its initial release the film turned out to be biggest box-office disaster. However, she bounced back with movie Bhagavanth Kesari, where her performance as Nandamuri Balakrishna's daughter was praised but film's performance remained the same at box office. However, for Bhagavanth Kesari , Sreeleela received the nomination for Best Supporting Actress at South Filmfare Awards. Later, she starred in Mahesh Babu starrer Guntur Kaaram helmed by Trivikram which also remained dud on box-office, but yet again Sreeleela received love and recognition for her charming looks and dancing skills. One Item Song Changed The Fate Of Sreeleela Sreeleela got the opportunity to feature in an item song from 2024's humongous blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule. The song named Kissik featured Sreeleela and Allu Arjun in their groovy avatar, which completely broke all the records after its release. The song became huge hit just like the first part's peppy track Oo Antava, which changed course for Sreeleela as she got the offer from other industries. Sreeleela's Big Break Into… The actress is all set to feature with Kartik Aaryan, which will mark her debut in Bollywood. The film, tentatively titled Tu Meri Zindagi Hai helmed by Anurag Basu, is said to be based on backdrop of the iconic Aashiqui franchise, however, the makers have not confirmed this till date. The upcoming romantic-musical is all set for its grand release on the occasion of Deepawali on October 17, 2025. Apart from this, she is all set to feature with Power Star Pawan Kalyan in Ustad Bhagat Singh and Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara.
