Did Sreeleela Refuse An Item Song In The GOAT? What We Know

Sreeleela is one of the emerging actresses of the South film industry who is yet to make a debut in the Tamil cinema industry. The actress recently garnered headlines with her dance number in Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram. After sharing screens with Nandamuri Balakrishna in Bhagavanth Kesari, Ram Pothineni in Skanda and Mahesh Babu in Guntur Kaaram, Sreeleela is now one of the most sought-after actresses by the leading producers and directors. Her fans are eagerly waiting for her debut in the Tamil film industry and it was expected that she will soon grace her Tamil fans with Vijay Thalapathy’s upcoming movie GOAT. This speculation seems to have come to an end after the actress reportedly refused a special appearance in the much-anticipated film GOAT.

According to the report of Deccan Chronicle, the actress Sreeleela has declined to do a dance number in Tamil superstar Vijay’s film GOAT. While citing a source, the report stated that the Bhagavanth Kesari actress has thumbed down the offer from the makers of GOAT because she didn’t want to start her career in the Tamil film industry with an item song. It was no wonder that the makers would aspire to cast Sreeleela for a dance number after her superhit performance in the Guntur Kaaram’s Kurchi Madathapetti song. The report stated that the actress has different plans for her debut in Tamil films after making waves with Telugu hits like Dhamaka and Bhagavanth Kesari.

Thalapathy Vijay’s Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) movie is directed by Venkat Prabhu. It stars Prabhu Deva, Prashanth and Meenakshi Chaudhary in the prominent roles. The music of the movie is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film is expected to be a science thriller with a dose of entertainment. One of the highlights of Thalapathy Vijay’s films is his dance numbers. The actor’s dancing prowess was showcased in superhit chartbusters like Arabic Kuthu (Beast), Ranjithame (Varisu) and Naa Ready (Leo).

The chemistry of Sreeleela with Thalapathy Vijay for a dance number could’ve been one of the major highlights of the film GOAT if the speculation were untrue. Actress Sreeleela will be next seen in Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh. This action drama is directed by Harish Shankar.
