Ileana, who was once the numero uno actress in Tollywood, is now facing tough competition from the likes of Samantha, Kajal and Tamanna. Besides that she received flak for her appearance in Snehitudu movie. A skinny Ileana was a major turn off even for her hardcore fans. Ileana too admitted that she looked very thin in the film and needs to put on some weight.

Although Ileana has put a bold face and tried to make people believe that she has taken the criticism in right sense, she seems to be deeply hurt. She has been rejecting Kollywood offers due to the harsh criticism. She was blatantly rejected by Tamil audience not once but twice. So, Kollywood isn't her choice of place to settle down after moving away from here.

Ileana finally decided to sign up more Hindi films to make it big in Bollywood. She will be making her Bollywood debut this year with Barfee. She has signed a twin movie deal for the same makers recently. She is currently doing Allu Arjun's next film and Raviteja's Devudu Chesina Manushulu in Telugu. Perhaps these films would decide the future of Ileana in Tollywood. She has already set a foot firmly in Bollywood though.
