According to a report by Siasat, Sreeleela has reportedly increased her fee to nearly double what she was charging earlier. At the same time, the actress was known to charge between Rs. Rumoured to be earning between ₹ 3.5 and ₹ 4 crore per film, it’s now reported that she’s asking for a hefty ₹ 7 crore per project.

There’s also speculation around Sreeleela’s role in Pushpa 2, where she allegedly received Rs. 2 crore for a single song, “Kissik,” in Allu Arjun’s blockbuster. However, these figures remain unconfirmed, as there has been no official statement from her or her team regarding her remuneration for the project.
