Sreeleela rejected Vijay Devarakonda for this reason. It is known that a film directed by Gautham Tinnanuri, with Vijay Devarakonda as the protagonist, is coming up. Although the project was supposed to begin earlier, it faced delays due to unavoidable reasons. Now, they are planning to start regular shooting as soon as possible. Recently, Bhagya Sri Borse has been finalized as the heroine, and the rest of the cast has also been selected.
Interestingly, it has come to light that Sreeleela was the first choice to play Vijay's partner. An agreement was made with her, but she unexpectedly left the project due to scheduling conflicts. However, the real reason for her exit is reportedly not the dates. It is said that Sreeleela declined the role due to the director's conditions involving intimate scenes, including a lip-lock. Gautham Tinnanuri had explained these scenes beforehand, and although Sreeleela initially agreed, she later expressed her reluctance to act in such scenes. She requested to be exempted from these scenes, and when this was not possible, she chose to exit the project.
Bhagya Sri Borse was then selected to replace her. The project with Vijay Devarakonda has been in the works for a long time but faced delays due to his busy schedule and Srileela's last-minute exit. Gautham Tinnanuri's films are known for their romantic elements, as seen in his previous movies 'Malli Raava' and 'Jersey,' which featured intimate scenes between Nani and Shraddha Srinath. However, Sreeleela chose not to take on such a role.
