On the work front, Ileana D'Cruz will be next seen in Anees Bazmee's Pagalpanti. The film is slated to hit the theatres later this year.
Talking about her Bollywood projects, Ileana D'Cruz said in an interview with IANS: "People have always had misconceptions about my career. After I signed Barfi, I was shocked to read reports that I have quit Telugu cinema for Bollywood."
"These were baseless allegations and it's time to put them to rest. Why will I give up an industry which has given me an identity?" Ileana D'Cruz further added.
Ileana D'Cruz also cleared how she missed out on several projects: "When I was shooting for Julayi, I got an offer to work in 'Barfi!'. It was a project with an interesting story and I didn't want to miss. I even consulted exploring the opportunity with director Trivikram and he was very happy for me. Even without knowing anything about my role, he pushed me to accept the offer."
Ileana D'Cruz also clarified: "It's just that I was getting really good work in Bollywood that I didn't have time for Telugu films. Also, after a point I was being approached for dance numbers by Telugu filmmakers and I was not excited about these offers. Therefore, I waited for the right film to return and that's how 'Amar Akbar Anthony' happened."
Ileana D'Cruz says she wants to do films that will be remembered for a long time. "I started my career when I was 20 and over the years have done all kinds of films. Now I'm 32, and there is a remarkable change in my thought process and personality. I have been making some sensible choices and I want it to reflect in the films I do. I want to be part of films that will be remembered for a long time."
