Meet actor who once aspired to be a doctor, has worked with Mahesh Babu, Ravi Teja and adopted specially-abled kids at 21

As a dedicated follower and admirer of the arts, I must say that Sreeleela is nothing short of inspiring. Born into a typical Telugu family in Detroit, she has defied all odds to make a name for herself in the highly competitive world of cinema. At just 21 years old, she has already worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, from Mahesh Babu and Ravi Teja to Varun Dhawan and Pawan Kalyan.


As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share the captivating story of this remarkable actress hailing from the South, who at just 21 years old, showed an extraordinary heart by adopting two special children. Known for her youthful charm and exceptional talent, she has graced the screen alongside stars like Mahesh Babu and Ravi Teja. However, it’s not only her mesmerizing on-screen performances that have won hearts; she’s also renowned for her dance movies, ethereal beauty, and fashion-forward style statements. The one and only: Sreeleela!

Who is Sreeleela?

Born on June 14, 2001, in Detroit, USA, Sreeleela hails from a typical Telugu family. Her mother, Swarnalatha, practices gynecology in Bangalore, while her father, Surapaneni Subhakara Rao, is an industrialist. Notably, Sreeleela was born following her parents’ separation, and she grew up in Bangalore.

Regarding her educational goals, Sreeleela, the actress, aimed to walk in her mother’s footsteps and become a doctor. To achieve this dream, as of 2021, she was studying medicine (specifically MBBS), in her final year of the program.

Born into a traditional family, initially gaining approval to act in films proved challenging for the actress. However, destiny seemed to have other ideas, and by 2017, Sreeleela made her industry debut with Chitrangada after overcoming this initial hurdle.

Sreeleela’s career in films

Sreeleela’s significant achievement occurred when she starred in director A.P. Arjun’s film “Kiss” in 2019, which was a Kannada-language romantic comedy. This movie garnered commercial success by running for 100 days at the box office. Afterward, her subsequent project was the action drama “Bharaate,” co-starring Sriimurali. The script and direction were handled by Chethan Kumar.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: In 2021, I made my debut in the Telugu film industry with the release of Pelli SandaD. Although the film didn’t fare well critically, my performance as Sreeleela was widely appreciated. However, it was my collaboration with the superstar Mahesh Babu in Guntur Kaaram that truly put me on the map, bringing me recognition, fame, and the success I’ve always strived for.

In addition to her memorable roles in Skanda, James, Dhamaka, and By Two Love, Sreeleela boasts a massive following not only for her acting but also her striking appearance and fashion-forward choices. It’s worth mentioning that the actress honed her dance skills by training in Bharatanatyam as a child.

Sreeleela adopted two specially-abled kids

Back in February 2022, I, a devoted admirer, found my heart swelling with joy as the remarkable Skanda actress welcomed two extraordinary children into her family – a baby boy named Guru and a girl called Shobhitha. Remarkably, she made this selfless decision right before embarking on her role in By Two Love, where I had the pleasure of seeing her portray a loving mother on screen.

In my fervor as a devoted admirer, allow me to share a heartwarming tale from the pages of Times Of India. You see, the radiant Sreeleela graced an orphanage, a sanctuary where her path intertwined with Guru and Shobhitha. The sight of those innocent, resilient children stirred such profound emotion within her that she made an unparalleled decision: to extend her love and provide them with the life they truly deserve through adoption.

It’s particularly fascinating to note that Sreeleela, at the tender age of 21, chose to undertake the responsibility of caring for the two special needs children.

Sreeleela on the work front

Lastly, Sreeleela appeared in the Telugu action drama titled “Guntur Kaaram.” She acted alongside the renowned actor Mahesh Babu in this film directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The release of Guntur Kaaram was on January 12, 2024, and it was produced by S. Radha Krishna under the banner Haarika & Hassine Creations.

Coming up soon, the captivating actress is set to star alongside Varun Dhawan in a Bollywood comedy. Interestingly, we at TopMob were first to announce that Sreeleela has been cast as the main actress in this film.

In this unnamed movie, which is being brought to you by Ramesh Taurani and his production house, TIPS Entertainment, it’s rumored that she will make her Hindi film acting debut. At present, neither the producers nor the actress herself have officially confirmed these reports.

Beyond this, I’ll be featured in the film “Ustaad Bhagat Singh,” alongside Pawan Kalyan. This movie, masterfully directed by Harish Shankar, is a remake of the 2016 Tamil film “Theri.” “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” serves as a spiritual successor to our hit film “Gabbar Singh.”

Moreover, Sreeleela will also be seen with Vijay Deverakonda in VD12( tentative title).
