Did Sreeleela double her fees after Pushpa 2 amid exit from Akhil Akkineni’s Lenin?

Recently, Sreeleela has been making a name for herself nationwide and securing exciting opportunities. Her name has been in the spotlight following the announcement that she will no longer be part of the Telugu film “Lenin.” It’s said that she chose to leave the project due to scheduling issues.

With Sreeleela poised to star alongside Kartik Aaryan for her Hindi film debut, there’s a lot of chatter surrounding the amount she’ll be paid for this upcoming project.

Has Sreeleela doubled her fees?

According to a report from Siasat, Sreeleela is generating buzz in the Telugu film industry as her alleged fee increase is said to have nearly doubled the amount she previously quoted.

Previously, the actress was known to ask for remuneration ranging from 35 million to 40 million rupees per movie. However, she has recently increased her demand for a salary of 70 million rupees in her forthcoming ventures.

As someone who keeps up with movie news, let me clarify that there have been rumors suggesting that Sreeleela was paid an impressive sum of two crores Indian rupees, merely for singing the song “Kissik” in Allu Arjun’s upcoming film, Pushpa 2.

At present, these reports seem uncertain, as neither the actress nor her representatives have provided any formal validation regarding this matter.

Sreeleela replaced by Bhagyashri Borse in Lenin

Previously reported by Gulte, following Sreeleela’s departure from Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming movie “Lenin”, it appears that the producers have chosen Bhagyashri Borse to take on the main role instead.

Previously, the actress from Guntur Kaaram who worked on a Telugu production, has also left other projects before. On separate occasions, she chose to withdraw for reasons that were personally significant to her.

Sreeleela’s work front

In the future, Sreeleela is set to launch her career in Bollywood as she stars in Anurag Basu’s unnamed romantic film. Sharing the screen with Kartik Aaryan, they will both play key roles in this upcoming production.

In addition to this, the actress is at present filming for Ustad Bhagat Singh, a movie featuring Pawan Kalyan as the main character. She is also working on Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, which stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, and Atharvaa in prominent roles.
