Sreeleela is reportedly set to join Ram Charan’s upcoming film “Peddi” for a high-octane special dance number. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring music by Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman, the film is already creating significant buzz. And the addition of Sreeleela could take anticipation to the next level.
After her breakout special appearance in the chartbuster “Kissik” from “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” Sreeleela has emerged as a top choice for energetic item songs. Her electrifying performance alongside Allu Arjun was widely praised, and now sources close to “Peddi” reveal that the filmmakers are keen to recreate that magic.
Reportedly, the actress has been offered twice her usual remuneration, highlighting her surging demand post-Pushpa 2. With her tight schedule—including a Hindi project with Kartik Aaryan—Sreeleela is expected to make a decision shortly, and fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation.
Peddi, Ram Charan’s 16th film, is a cricket-themed rural action drama produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead in her first collaboration with Charan. Other notable cast members include Kannada legend Shiva Rajkumar and Jagapathi Babu.
The teaser, unveiled in March 2025, showcased Charan in a rugged role wielding a cricket bat, setting the stage for an intense, action-packed narrative. A.R. Rahman’s soundtrack, including the anticipated dance number, is expected to be a major highlight.
Sreeleela has quickly established herself as one of Tollywood’s most bankable talents, balancing lead roles with impactful special appearances. Despite flops with recent films like “Robinhood”, her popularity remains undiminished.
Her performance in Pushpa 2 was compared to Samantha’s iconic “Oo Antava” appearance in the original Pushpa. Now, “Peddi” could serve as another milestone in her journey as a dance icon and screen performer.
