Not only in Tollywood, ‘Pokiri’ happens to be the biggest hit for Ileana in her career even when compared to her Bollywood movies. Back then, she was naive to the film industry down South and when she got this offer to do ‘Pokiri’, she thought she will not do it if not for Mahesh’s sister Manjula. Mahesh’s sister convinced Ileana to accept ‘Pokiri’.
That implies, if Manjula wasn’t there to convince her, rejecting ‘Pokiri’ would have been the biggest mistake in her career. It’s because of ‘Pokiri’ Ileana rose to instant stardom bagging back to back offers with top heroes. After ‘Julayi’, the actress placed herself in Bollywood and did Hindi movies taking a six-year long gap in Tollywood. The gap isn’t because she wasn’t interested in Telugu films but because she got busy in Bollywood and good stories didn’t come her way from South.
Her Tollywood re-entry with ‘Amar Akbar Anthony‘ will be a memorable one for Ileana as she has dubbed in Telugu for the first time. The actress seems to be quite impressed with her role in AAA. When asked about her marriage, taut came the reply that she doesn’t want to talk about her personal life and wants to keep it private. Audiences must be contended with as much as her Instagram feed reveals. No questions please!
