Sreeleela continues her rapid rise in South Indian cinema with an exciting back-to-back expansion into the Tamil film industry.
After making her much-talked-about Tamil debut with Parasakthi, opposite Sivakarthikeyan, the young actress has now officially confirmed her next project in Kollywood. She will be playing the female lead opposite Dhanush in his upcoming film, tentatively titled D55, marking a significant milestone in her career.
Parasakthi, which released this Pongal, introduced Sreeleela to the Tamil audience in a prominent role alongside Sivakarthikeyan. The film not only showcased her screen presence in a new industry but also helped her connect with a wider audience beyond Telugu cinema, where she already enjoys immense popularity. Her performance and energetic charm reportedly caught the attention of several Tamil filmmakers, paving the way for more opportunities.
Capitalising on this momentum, Sreeleela’s next Tamil outing, D55, pairs her with National Award-winning actor Dhanush for the first time. The film will be directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, who previously earned critical acclaim for Amaran. Known for his grounded storytelling and strong character arcs, Rajkumar Periyasamy’s collaboration with Dhanush has already generated considerable buzz, and Sreeleela’s inclusion adds to the film’s growing hype.
According to the official announcement, the shooting of D55 is set to begin very soon, with pre-production work progressing at a brisk pace. While details regarding the genre and plot are being kept under wraps, the combination of Dhanush’s intense acting, Rajkumar Periyasamy’s direction, and Sreeleela’s youthful energy has raised expectations among fans and industry watchers alike.
For Sreeleela, these consecutive Tamil projects signal a clear intent to establish herself as a pan-South Indian star. Balancing major films across industries at such an early stage of her career reflects both her demand and confidence as a performer. With Parasakthi opening the doors and D55 strengthening her foothold, Sreeleela’s Kollywood journey is off to a promising and exciting start, making her one of the most closely watched actresses of the current generation.
