Sreeleela has become the talk of the town ever since she bagged a dance number in Pushpa 2: The Rule. For those who are not aware, the actress will shake a leg with Allu Arjun in the much-anticipated sequel of Pushpa. Her first look from the movie is also out and fans cannot keep calm. While we discuss more about her latest projects, let's know who Sreeleela is.

Who is Sreeleela?


Many of her fans will be surprised to know that Sreeleela is of American origin. Yes, you read it right! The actress was born on June 14, 2001, in Detroit, US, to a typical Telugu family. Later, she moved with her parents to Bangalore and was brought up in the city. 

Her father Surapaneni Subhakara Rao is an Industrialist and mother Swarnalatha is a gynecologist by profession. According to reports, Swarnalatha welcomed Sreeleela after her separation from husband Subhakara Rao. 

As a child, the Guntur Kaaram actress always showed interest in dance and began to train herself in Bharatanatyam. However, she followed her mother's footsteps and aspired to be a doctor like her. 

While Sreeleela was pursuing a degree in MBBS, she landed her first acting job in 2017. As fate had different plans for her, she made her debut in the film industry with Chitrangada.




Sreeleela’s breakthrough role came in 2019 with Kiss, directed by A.P. Arjun. The Kannada romantic comedy became a commercial hit, completing a 100-day run in theaters. She then appeared alongside Sriimurali in Bharaate, an action drama directed by Chethan Kumar.

Sreeleela's upcoming movies

Sreeleela will feature in a special dance number in Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule. The actress has already started shooting for the item song alongside the lead star.
