Sreeleela’s relentless dedication in 2023, marked by five releases in five months, deserves acknowledgment despite the disappointing box office outcomes. Despite her captivating looks and mesmerizing dance skills, critics argue that she’s limiting herself to these aspects.
Post ‘Dhamaka,’ directors seem fixated on showcasing her dancing prowess rather than exploring her acting potential. Movies like ‘Skanda,’ ‘Extra Ordinary Man,’ and ‘Adikeshava’ offered little room for her to perform as the heroine, focusing more on mass dance sequences.
Even ‘Guntur Karam’ followed a similar trend, with a major portion dedicated to energetic dance numbers. Only ‘Bhagvanth Kesari’ attempted to showcase her acting skills, earning her praise alongside Balakrishna. The concern now lies in Sreeleela’s choices shaping her image primarily as a dancer rather than an actress.
With potential roles getting overshadowed by dance-centric scripts, the risk of being labeled a glam doll looms. The plea is for Sreeleela to consider scripts that bring out her acting prowess, steering away from the dancer stereotype before it impacts her career significantly. The audience awaits whether she can redefine her on screen persona beyond the confines of dance.
