Career
She debuted in the Telugu language film Devadasu in

Her breakthrough came with her second Telugu film where
she essayed the role of Shruti, an innocent girl haunted
by a corrupt police officer opposite Mahesh Babu in
the immensely successful Pokiri. The film not only gained
her good reviews but also gave her terrific reach and
penetration among audiences in B and C stations. Her
chemistry with Mahesh was the cynosure of all eyes.
The film went on to being the biggest hit in Tollywood
history.
She then made her Tamil language film debut alongside
Ravi Krishna in Kedi. Although the film did not do so
well at the box-office, Ileana was sought after by many
directors an actors in Tamil for films which she eventually
rejected due to her commitments in Telugu.
Ileana was most recently seen in M.S Raju's Aata opposite
Siddarth Narayan and Dil Raju's Munna opposite Prabhas.
Over Independence Day Weekend of 2007, Ileana appeared
at the Telugu Association of North America's conference
