In an interview with India Today, Ileana clarified that her venture into Hindi cinema wasn’t intended as a complete transition.Rather, it stemmed from her genuine admiration for the script of ‘Barfi!’ She found it to be a unique story that she didn’t anticipate encountering again. Viewing it as a rare opportunity, she chose not to pass it up. She emphasized that this decision didn’t signify a permanent shift away from South Indian films, nor did it signify a move to solely focus on Bollywood.
Upon signing up for ‘Barfi!’, Ileana sensed a misconception emerging that she was abandoning South Indian cinema for Bollywood. Consequently, she observed a decline in offers from the South. While acknowledging this shift in perception, she admitted to becoming more discerning about the projects she chose after entering Bollywood.
