Sreeleela’s paycheck boom in Tollywood
From Dhamaka to new heights, the actress lands a lucrative role with pay hike of over Rs 2 cr
It is interesting to note that the popularity of actress Sreeleela is soaring by the day in Tollywood. She is joining hands with Ravi Teja for her next film with director Gopichand Mallineni.
“She will be drawing a pay of over ₹ 2 crore, which is four times more than what she earned for Dhamaka with Ravi Teja,” says a source. It claims that the Pelli SandaD actress would have pocketed ₹ 40 to ₹ 50 lakhs for Dhamaka, but now she is a reigning actress after working with big stars like Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan. “Her popularity soared overnight in Tollywood, and she became a sought-after actress, even working with Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan in Ustaad Bhagat Singh to keep her ratings high,” source adds.
Meanwhile, the actress and her mother are holding discussions with Tamil filmmakers and planning to work with big stars like Karthi and Ajith Kumar. “She will do a Tamil film with a big star and has rejected a few films with lesser-known heroes,” the source concludes.
