Popular Telugu actress Ileana is pairing with Vijay in the film Nanban directed by Shankar. This film is the remake of the super hit Hindi film Three Idiots. Since her films were great hits in Telugu, she increased her salary from Rs 1 Crore to Rs 1 ½ Crores.
Recently she demanded Rs 2 Crores salary for a film which had Allu Arjun in the lead role. This has shocked the Telugu film industry because so far no other actresses have demanded this much salary. Because of this some directors and producers were reluctant to sign her.
The big budgeted films which were meant for Ileana went to other actresses. Ileana who was shocked by this reduced her salary by Rs 1 Crore all of a sudden. Now she is trying to get back the films that she lost because of her salary problems.
