Ileana has a strong foothold in South film circles and now the next big step towards Bollywood is more than cautious. Call it Ileana’s baby steps but she is ensuring that everything will be grand and not to miss any thing. Ileana signed Anurag Basu’s new film ‘Barfee’ only after screwing him for the maximum of getting as much screen time as other heroine Priyanka Chopra.
Bollywood sources tell that, producer Siddharth Roy and director Anurag are well aware of Ileana as one of the biggest stars in South and she wants a big debut in Bollywood. When Anurag Basu offered Ileana this ‘Barfee,’ she made it very clear that if the film required two heroines with Priyanka Chopra as the second lead; she too would want equal prominence in the film, if not more.
Anurag assured her and then she signed on the dotted lines. As story of ‘Barfee’ centers around three characters of Ranbir, Priyanka and Ileana; there is no question of one role being more important than the others. Finally, Ileana is happy and then what about Priyanka?
