How will Sreeleela cross the Stumbling Blocks. Sreeleela, after encountering challenges with poorly-etched roles in films like 'Skanda' and 'Adhikesava,' now faces another hurdle in her upcoming film, 'Extra Ordinary Man.' Critics note that, based on the trailer, she appears stunning in songs and seems to be playing the typical lover girl role. This, however, could potentially impact her standing, considering the film's hero-centric nature, according to a source. The source also speculates that she might have committed to these projects earlier in her career before receiving offers alongside industry giants like Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, and Ravi Teja.
In her previous films, 'Skanda' and 'Adhikesava,' Sreeleela predominantly played the conventional lover girl roles, serving as a romantic interest for the heroes and showcasing her dancing skills in songs. The source highlights that her role in 'Bhagavanth Kesari' was a departure from this trend, offering her a meatier character with substantial screen time alongside Balakrishna. She also showcased her versatility by engaging in action sequences with ease.
Navigating her burgeoning stardom poses a challenge for the actress, emphasizing the need for careful role selection. The source advises her to be discerning about her choices, considering that poorly-etched roles in some films could potentially impact her image negatively.
Sreeleela pins her hopes on her upcoming major release, 'Guntur Kaaram,' featuring Mahesh Babu, as a potential catalyst for much-needed success. Following the success of 'Dhamaka,' which catapulted her to overnight stardom, she is strategically aligning herself with prominent stars like Pawan Kalyan in 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh.' The source emphasizes that it is a crucial time for her to consolidate her position and make judicious choices to secure a lasting presence in the industry.
