Whispers are circulating that Sree Leela has secured the female lead role in the long-awaited Prabhas film, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Although there has been no official confirmation from the makers, the speculation in town suggests that the actress known for 'Guntur Kaaram' has officially committed to the project.
Prabhas' fans are upset. They feel that there has been an overdose of Sree Leela, with films featuring her in dumb roles arriving in theatres steadily. The audience might get bored of watching her by the time Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi are ready with their film, whose release in theatres might take another two years.
Netizens are urging the makers to replace Sree Leela with either Mrunal Thakur or Kajal Aggarwal. "Even Tamannaah Bhatia or Priyanka Arul Mohan would do. Why Sree Leela?" a social media user wrote.
Most likely, Hanu hasn't opted for Sree Leela. His typical preference is for actresses with strong performance capabilities, a departure from the common trend among commercial directors who often choose the most popular leading ladies.
