Ileana opposite Suriya?
Though she missed a great chance to act with superstar Rajinikanth, Ileana has bagged three new films in Tollywood. They are Saleem opposite Mohan Babu’s son, Vishnu Vardhan, Vinayak’s untitled flick starring Junior NTR as a policeman and another untitled flick opposite Nitin. Ileana also bagged a Tamil film opposite Suriya with Murugadoss directing the untitled venture.
Several sources say that Ileana was eager to act in Rajinikanth’s Sultan The Warrior, even willing to slash her fee down to less than half of the one crore that she usually commands in Tollywood. But the makers of the animation movie weren’t willing to pay even her slashed fee; that was the reason she backed out, say certain sources. It is commonly known that she had initially turned down offers to act with Vikram and Vijay, some of the biggest Tamil film stars today.
