Sreeleela, a star heroine in Telugu cinema, has reportedly taken a pay cut for her recent Tamil film Parashakthi. The actress, known for her glamorous performances and high profile projects, has reduced her remuneration from ₹3-4 crore to ₹1 crore for the film. This significant drop in pay is attributed to her recent string of flops and her efforts to strengthen her foothold in the Tamil film market.
Industry sources suggest that Sreeleela's decision to reduce her fee is a strategic move to revive her career. Despite gaining nationwide attention with a special song in Pushpa 2: The Rule, her recent films have not performed well at the box office. By accepting a lower pay, Sreeleela aims to increase her visibility and appeal in the Tamil film industry.
The film Parashakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Sivakarthikeyan, released on January 10 with much anticipation. Sreeleela's performance in the film is expected to be a turning point in her career, and her decision to take a pay cut may prove to be a wise move in the long run.
With this development, Sreeleela's career trajectory is under scrutiny, and it remains to be seen how she will navigate opportunities across South Indian cinema. Her Bollywood film with Karthik Aaryan is also scheduled for release this year.
