Superstar Mahesh Babu's recent release, "Guntur Karam," which hit theatres during Sankranthi, received an average response from audiences. However, the film garnered significant attention for its song "The Chair Fell Down," which emerged as a massive hit. The dance beats from this song created a sensation on social media platforms. Notably, "Guntur Karam" stands out in Superstar Mahesh Babu's career for its emphasis on dance beats.
Deliberately crafted as a complete commercial entertainer, the film aimed to compete with other successful ventures in the industry. During the pre-release event, mahesh babu specifically praised Srileela's dance talent, acknowledging her contributions to the movie. Srileela showcased her dancing skills on two occasions in the film.
Despite the movie's average performance, it has gained popularity on the OTT platform Netflix, primarily attributed to Srileela's compelling dance performance and its connection with family audiences. The success of "Guntur Karam" has significantly elevated Srileela's star power, marking her ascent towards becoming the top commercial heroine in Tollywood.
While Srileela faced three previous film disasters, including "Adikesava," "Skanda," and "Extraordinary Men," her role in the hit film "Srileelaki Bhagwant Kesari" earned her recognition for acting. Even though "Guntur Karam" is deemed average, Srileela's popularity has surged, not only in telugu cinema but also in other languages.
There is growing speculation that Srileela has the potential to become a leading heroine not only in telugu but also in other film industries. Currently, she is set to star in Pawan Kalyan's "Ustad Bhagat Singh," and discussions for two or three other films are underway.
Additionally, Srileela has been confirmed as the heroine in the upcoming movie directed by gautham Tinnanuri and featuring Vijay Devarakonda, further solidifying her promising career prospects. The confirmation of her presence in the film will be known once the shooting commences.
