Ileana was the first choice

Telugu film Pista released some time back starring Vishal and Shriya. The film failed to do well at the box office. The news is that Vishal had first approached Ileana to play the leading lady in the film. The pretty actress was extremely busy at that time. She had the release of Kick coming up and many more projects. And that’s why she politely declined the offer.

 However, it can be seen that though the film did moderate business, Shriya was at her best as usual. It is now being said that Vishal is quite keen on pairing up with Ileana and now that the ‘andaala khazana’ has given her nod for a Tamil movie after a long time, it looks like Vishal might just get successful.
