Sreeleela in Talks to Replace Janhvi Kapoor in Dostana 2

The highly anticipated sequel Dostana 2 continues to make waves with yet another major casting change. After Vikrant Massey confirmed replacing Kartik Aaryan as the male lead, speculation is now rife about Telugu sensation Sreeleela stepping into Janhvi Kapoor’s shoes for the female lead role.

When questioned about his new co-star, Vikrant Massey remained diplomatic, stating that Dharma Productions would make an official announcement in due course. However, his cryptic response has only intensified the rumor mill.

Industry Buzz Around Sreeleela’s Casting

According to industry insiders, Sreeleela has been in serious discussions for the role for several months. A source close to the production revealed that while Dostana 2’s original storyline remains intact, both the cast and director have undergone significant changes. “The team is quite excited about Sreeleela, especially after her electrifying dance number in Pushpa 2: The Rule made her a household name,” the source disclosed.

From South Cinema to Pan-India Stardom

If confirmed, Dostana 2 could be Sreeleela’s ticket to pan-India stardom. The 23-year-old actress, who began as a child artist in the 2017 Telugu film Chitrangada, has already established herself in South Indian cinema. Her lead debut came with the 2019 Kannada film Kiss, followed by successful Telugu ventures like Dhamaka and Guntur Kaaram.

Her recent appearance in the viral song “Kissik” from Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has significantly boosted her pan-India appeal, making her an attractive choice for Dharma Productions’ ambitious project.

With Vikrant Massey marking his first collaboration with Dharma Productions through this film, fans eagerly await official confirmation about the leading lady who will complete this fresh pairing.
