Thereafter, she also won the Santosham Best Actress Award and South Scope Style

received a Filmfare nomination in Telugu category as well.
Trivia: An already
established actress in Telugu films down south, and a newbie in the Hindi film
industry, Ileana D’Cruz is the latest addition to the “To-Watch-Out-For” list
of new entrants in Bollywood. The model-turned-actress will make her Bolly
debut in Anurag Basu’s film “Barfi!”
With quite a number of
big projects in her kitty, Ileana is already being touted as one of the `next
big faces'.
She made her debuted in
the Telugu language film Devadasu in 2006 directed by Y.V.S. Chowdhary who
spotted her in a Fair and Lovely ad film directed by Rakesh Roshan. The film
went on to being a huge success at the box-office and Ileana attracted a lot of
attention for her sensitive portrayal in the film.
Her breakthrough came
with her second Telugu film where she essayed the role of Shruti, an innocent
girl haunted by a corrupt police officer opposite Mahesh Babu in the immensely
successful Pokiri. The film not only gained her good reviews about her good
display of innocence and glamour in the film but also gave her terrific reach
and penetration among audiences in B and C stations. Her chemistry with Mahesh
was the cynosure of all eyes. The film went on to being the biggest hit in
Tollywood history.
She then made her Tamil
language film debut alongside Ravi Krishna in Kedi. Although the film did not
do so well at the box-office, Ileana was sought after by many directors an
actors in Tamil for films which she eventually rejected due to her commitments
in Telugu.
While she was in Goa, a
hotel manager coaxed her into taking up modeling as a career and even introduced
her to model-actor-ramp choreographer Marc Robinson. Ileana regards her first
portfolio as a disaster, yet she landed into ramp shows and photo shoots.
Gradually, thanks to her second portfolio, she grabbed ads for established
brands like Emami Talc, Electrolux and Fair & Lovely. The latter ad was
directed by Rakesh Roshan, thus opening up vistas for her for acting in films.
Ileana debuted in 2006
in a Telugu romantic film named ‘Devadasu’, for which she took acting lessons
from Aruna Bhikshu. Her performance in the film was much appreciated and she
was also noticed for amazing figure and sexy legs. The film grossed around 14 crores
and the heroine received the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut (Telugu).
Her next film, Pokiri,
opposite Mahesh Babu, was also a smash hit success and became the highest
grossing Telugu film at that time. However, after this film, her career graph
experienced a low, with four subsequent films being commercial failures. Things
took a better turn for her, with films like ‘Aata’ and ‘Jalsa’ doing pretty
well at the box office. The latter not only brought in some good money, but
also earned her prestigious awards and nominations for her performance.
Prior to her failures
with ‘Rechipo’ and ‘Saleem’ in 2009, she starred in ‘Kick’, which became among
the highest grossing films of the year. The actress again collaborated with her
‘Pokiri’ director Puri Jagannadh, and appeared in his film ‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’,
in which her acting and looks were much praised.
Ileana’s second Tamil
film ‘Nanban’ was a remake of 3 Idiots, and she played the role performed by
Kareena Kapoor. Much like its Bollywood counterpart, the Tamil version also
became quite successful both commercially and critically. As of now, the
actress is awaiting the release of her first Hindi film, Barfi!, co-starring
Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. She plays the role of a narrator and Ranbir’s
first love interest in the film.
The ‘Miss Sexy Legs’
will also be seen in Puri Jagannadh’s next venture ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’
where the heroine will be essaying the character of a taxi driver. Her second
Bolly film ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ will be a romantic comedy, starring Shahid
Kapoor, and is expected to release in 2013.
She is already a star
down south, but will she manage to do the same in the Hindi film industry? Wait
and watch out for her!
