Ahead of its release, the actress reacted to the extraordinary reach she gained after dancing in Pushpa 2, while also admitting that such dance numbers are not what she wants in her career.
Sreeleela reveals how dance numbers like Pushpa 2 are ‘not her cup of tea’
Speaking to Galatta Plus, Sreeleela revealed that performing special dance numbers, like the one she did in Pushpa 2: The Rule, is not how she envisions her career.
The actress said, “Doing special dance numbers is not my cup of tea, but I took this tough decision only for Pushpa 2: The Rule. I prefer to dance in films that I am a part of, not in other projects. However, I believe I took the right decision of dancing in Pushpa because the exposure it gave me was extraordinary. In Parashakti, I only have light dance numbers like Ratnamala.”
For those unaware, Sreeleela shares the screen with Allu Arjun in the huge blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule in 2024. Both of them danced on the viral track Kissik composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

Srileela’s work front
Sreeleela is all set to hit the big screen with Parashakthi. Starring Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan, the film is a political historical drama written and directed by Soorarai Pottru fame Sudha Kongara.
The film revolves around two brothers living in 1960s Madras, one of whom works in the railways and the other a college student. As civil unrest increases due to government interference, the brothers clash with each other, leading to chaos.
However, the story takes a turn when both the brothers unite for a common cause and fight against the oppressors. While Sivakarthikeyan is leading the project, Ravi Mohan is said to play the main antagonist. Additionally, Atharvaa Murali plays one of the lead co-lead roles.
Looking ahead, the Mass Jathara actress will also be seen in the lead role in Pawan Kalyan-starrer Ustad Bhagat Singh, which is expected to release later this year.
