Sreeleela will be playing the female lead in Dhruva Sarja’s upcoming commercial entertainer, Dubaari, directed by Nanda Kishore. The project, bankrolled by producer Uday K Mehta, will have her sharing screen space with Dhruva for the first time. The makers, who are in the process of finalising the cast, have confirmed the lead heroine, and an official announcement will be made soon.

Sreeleela made her debut with AP Arjun’s KISS, which she followed with Chethan Kumar’s directorial Bharaate, starring Sriimurali. She is also simultaneously pursuing her medical degree.

Dubaari brings together Dhruva Sarja and Nanda Kishore for the second time after Pogaru. The project was officially announced on November 6 with a simple launch, and the team plans to start shooting from this month or early next year.

The makers of Dubaari are planning to come out with the first look soon. The film also features Doddanna and Tara in prominent roles. Pogaru music director Chandan Shetty is composing the score for this project.
