By M Muzamil Shami - March 12, 2025
South Indian sensation Sreeleela has been grabbing headlines, not just for her rumored link-up with Kartik Aaryan but also for an incredible career-defining year. Let’s take a deep dive into how 2024 transformed Sreeleela’s career, propelling her into the limelight and setting her up for a promising future in Bollywood and beyond.
Sreeleela’s Journey in the South Film Industry
Debuting in 2017 as a leading actress with the Kannada movie Kiss, Sreeleela quickly made her mark in Telugu cinema. She played significant roles in blockbuster hits like Ravi Teja’s Dhamaka and Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari. However, it was 2024 that truly redefined her career trajectory.
A Breakthrough Year with Guntur Kaaram
Sreeleela kickstarted the year with Guntur Kaaram, where she starred opposite Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Despite the film not fully meeting sky-high box office expectations, Sreeleela stole the spotlight with her electrifying dance moves in Kurchi Madathapetti. The song’s virality cemented her position as a household name in the South film industry.
Pushpa 2’s Dance Number: A Turning Point
The actress reached new heights with her sensational item song in Pushpa 2: The Rule. Featuring in the high-energy track Kissik, she set the screen on fire alongside Allu Arjun. Unlike Guntur Kaaram, Pushpa 2 was released in Hindi markets, turning into a box office juggernaut. The film’s pan-India success significantly benefited Sreeleela, making her a sought-after actress across industries and opening doors for Bollywood projects.
Sreeleela’s Upcoming Bollywood & South Films
With her rising popularity, Sreeleela is now all set to make a smashing Bollywood debut. She is currently filming for Anurag Basu’s upcoming directorial venture, where she stars opposite Kartik Aaryan. Additionally, she is also working on Diler alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Apart from Bollywood, the actress has a busy South schedule with multiple films lined up, including Robinhood, Mass Jathara, Parashakthi, and Ustad Bhagat Singh.
What’s Next for Sreeleela in 2025?
