Sreeleela made a sensational entry into Tollywood with Dhamaka, quickly becoming one of the most in-demand actresses. Her meteoric rise even overshadowed Pooja Hegde, as she replaced her in Guntur Kaaram. However, the tables now seem to be turning, with Bhagyashri Borse emerging as a strong competitor.
Bhagyashri, despite her debut film Mr. Bachchan failing at the box office, has managed to land some major projects. She is starring alongside Vijay Deverakonda in Kingdom, Dulquer Salmaan in Kaantha, and has bagged the lead role in Venky Atluri’s film with Suriya. Additionally, she is also part of Ram Pothineni’s upcoming movie.
The biggest shocker, however, is the strong buzz that Bhagyashri has been finalized for Prashanth Varma’s ambitious project with Prabhas. If true, this could be a game-changer for her, as all these films are pan-India ventures. Securing such high-profile roles in quick succession suggests she is on the fast track to stardom.
This sudden rise raises an interesting question—were some of these roles initially meant for Sreeleela? If Bhagyashri continues this momentum, she might push Sreeleela further out of Tollywood’s top league. While Sreeleela still enjoys a solid fan base, she now needs a major blockbuster to reaffirm her position.
The industry is witnessing a familiar pattern, where one actress’s ascent comes at the cost of another. Just as Sreeleela replaced Pooja Hegde, Bhagyashri might now be stepping into her shoes. Only time will tell if Sreeleela can bounce back or if Bhagyashri will take over as Tollywood’s next big sensation.
