Ileana is over the moon. For the actress will get a high profile break in Kollywood with ‘Nanban’. Remember her maiden Tamil film ‘Kedi’ was a dud and the actress later became a hot property in Tollywood.

“Shooting with Shankarji was great. I never expected one of the biggest directors in India to be so relaxed on set,” she says after the first schedule of ‘Nanban’, which was shot in and around Ooty.

Not ready to hide the difficulty she faced while speaking in Tamil, she says, “I just had a few lines in Tamil! Been a while since I spoke this language. It’s tricky, but getting the hang of it.”

The actress is currently shaking legs with NTR Junior for a film titled ‘Shakthi’. “I am back on the sets of ‘Shakthi’ for the shoot of the final song. I always get butterflies in my tummy when it comes to shooting a song,” she says.
