Ileana is currently shooting for Barfii in Mumbai and the question on people's mind was what project she would sign on next? The actress has a good foothold in the south and with her debut in Bollywood, she's seen as competition to other south actresses making their foray into B-Town.
The actress already has another B-Town project in her kitty as of now — the Bollywood remake of Vettai starring Shahid Kapoor — but she is yet to sign the contract.
Now, the latest news is that Ileana has opted for a Telugu film! Even as the audio of her Julayi with director Trivikram Srinivas is set to be launched, we hear the actress has been roped in for his next with Pawan Kalyan. While Ileana couldn't be reached for comment, her spokesperson confirms, "Yes, Ileana will be doing Trivikram Srinivas's next film with Pawan Kalyan. She had been approached for the role a while before, and now, the formalities are through. She will start work on the project in August."
She is also intently listening to scripts in Tamil as well. Her spokesperson tells, "She has been getting several offers post Shankar's Nanban (Tamil remake of 3 idiots), but she wants her next in Tamil to be equally good."
And how true are the reports that she's shifted to a new pad in Mumbai with her parents? "Ileana's family is still in Goa, but they own a house in Bandra, which they have rented out. Whenever she's shooting in the city, she still stays in hotels," her spokesperson clarifies.
