Sreeleela on Pushpas Global Impact: It Changed Everything for Me

Actress Sreeleela, who shot to nationwide fame with the song Kissik in Pushpa: The Rise, opened up about how the film transformed her career and outlook as an artiste. Featuring Allu Arjun in his iconic Pushpa Raj avatar alongside Rashmika Mandanna, the Sukumar directorial went on to become a cultural phenomenon, breaking language barriers and putting Indian cinema firmly on the global map.

In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, the actress candidly shared how Pushpa marked a turning point in her journey and why being associated with the film felt truly special to her.

“Pushpa changed so much for me, and I am so grateful to all of them (audiences). It represented Indian cinema in the global market, to be honest. It was that huge! And to be a part of such a film… It was such a special film,” she said.

The song Kissik not only amplified Sreeleela’s popularity across India but also introduced her to audiences beyond the South, cementing her status as a promising young face in the industry.

Riding high on this momentum, Sreeleela is now all set to take a major leap in her career as she gears up for a big Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu’s next directorial venture, marking an exciting new chapter in her cinematic journey. She will share the screen with Kartik Aaryan in this film.

Recently, she also opened up about adopting three kids at a young age of 24 and acting as their guardian. She spoke about taking time out for differently-abled children while catering to her hectic schedule as an actress.

Sreeleela said, “I fall short of words and get jittery when I talk about it. But it’s taken care of. I’m not a mother because there’s an entirely different story to that.”
