Ileana

Goan
babe
who
rose
to
stardom
in
South
films,
seems
to
be
going
great
in
Bollywood.
The
actress,
who
entered
Hindi
film
industry
with
blockbuster
Barfi,
is
being
showered
with
offers
and
she
has

signed
yet
another
B-Town
flick.

career
in
Telugu
film
industry.
She
made
her
acting
debut
in

directed
by

Chowdhary
and
starring
Ram.
After
getting
success
in
Tollywood,
the
Goan
babe
ventured
into
Tamil
film
industry
in
Jyothi
Krishna's
Kedi.
Since
then,
Ileana
has
gone
strength
to
strength
in
South
films.
Ileana,
after
working
hard
in
South
film
industry,
got
a
good
offer
from
Bollywood
in
the
form
of
Barfi
starring
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Priyanka
Chopra.
Though
she
played
the
second
fiddle
in
the
Hindi
film,
her
performance
was
well-received
by
audience
and
appreciated
by
critics.
Following
the
success,
offers
started
coming
her
way.
In
the
process,
Ileana
signed
her
second
Bollywood
project
Phata
Poster
Nikla
Hero
starring
Shahid
Kapoor.
Now,
she
has
given
green
signal
for
her
third
Hindi
flick
featuring
Saif
Ali
Khan.

told

"It's
a
romantic-comedy
and
we
will
start
rolling
the
film
as
soon
as
Go
Goa
Gone
releases.
Most
probably
the
film
will
go
on
the
floors
in
June.
The
film
is
yet
untitled
and
the
entire
film
will
be
shot
in
US.
I
can't
reveal
much
about
the
film
as
it
is
in
its
initial
stage."
Ileana
Nidimoru
and
Krishna
are
known
for
their
films
including
99
and
Shor
In
The
City.
Their
Go
Goa
Gone
will
come
out
on
May
10.
Ileana
Saif,
known
for
his
comic
timing
in
films
like
Dil
Chahta
Hai,
Hum
Tum
and
Salaam
Namaste,
will
be
seen
playing
a
funny
character
in
the
film.
"We
have
cast
Saif
because
he
is
known
for
his
comic
timing.
He
is
funny
and
I
would
like
to
see
Saif
in
funny
roles
rather
than
in
serious
characters.
Saif
will
be
seen
playing
a
hilarious
character
in
the
romantic
comedy.
The
subject
is
very
edgy
and
funny,"
said
Krishna.

With
this
development,
Ileana,
like
Asin,
seems
to
be
preferring
Bollywood
to
South
films.
The
actress
has
not
given
a
nod
to
any
offer
after
her
career
in
Bollywood
appeared
like
getting
settled.
