Sreeleela’s No To Varun Dhawan, Yes To Kartik Aaryan

The Telugu dancing sensation Sreeleela known to ignite the screen alongside some of the biggest superstars of Andhra Pradesh will now be making her Hindi debut with Kartik Aaryan in Anurag Basu’s intense love story which is NOT titled Aashiqui.
Some months ago Varun Dhawan and his father David Dhawan, as well as producer Ramesh Taurani were very keen to get Sreeleela on board for their new Hindi comedy. Initially Sreeleela agreed. But then she got to know there was another heroine in the film. Her role seemed too marginal for a proper Bollywood debut.So she politely opted out. Now they’ve replaced her with Pooja Hegde.
Producer Taurani denies he ever approached Sreeleela. The truth is,they wanted her to be part of the film.Looks like Sreeleela has finally found a project that will do justice to her.
A source from Hyderabad reveals, “Sreeleela didn’t know much about the Hindi film industry when she said yes to David Dhawan’s film with Varun Dhawan. She was advised against starting her career with a lighthearted film. She waited for something more serious to come her way.”
