It's time for Sree Leela to lay a claim to stardom. That is if she has indeed been paired up with Mahesh Babu in SSMB28. Produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations, the film reportedly has got the 'Pelli SandaD' actress as the second heroine.

"The first heroine is Pooja Hegde. The story, written by Trivikram Srinivas, has got a place for a second face. Sree Leela is on cloud nine over the news." This is the buzz doing the rounds in Film Nagar circles.

Sree Leela will be seen on December 23 in 'Dhamaka', starring Ravi Teja as the hero. After acting opposite him, if she gets to act opposite Mahes, it can be deemed as a promotion of sorts.

SSMB28, with music by SS Thaman, will resume its shoot in December. Recently, there was a rumour that the 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' composer is not a part of the film. Producer S Naga Vamsi refuted the rumour indirectly.
