Hey people, make way for yet another hottie from south. This time it’s Telugu industry’s hot property Ileana, who is going to make space in the glittering B-town.

Latest buzz that our birdies brought in that this pretty lass will be launched by Anurag Basu in his forthcoming Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Barfi’ (which was earlier titled Silence).

While Priyanka Chopra had been signed on, the director was looking for someone who will play the second female lead. For the role couple of leading actresses had played musical chairs, but finally the offer fell on Ileana’s lap.

For the records, Ileana touched success skies with the Telugu blockbuster ‘Kick’, starring Ravi Teja. Interestingly, the south bala has been roped in for ‘3 Idiots’ remake in Tamil-Telugu – as a matter of fact, Ileana is popularly touted as the Kareena Kapoor of the South.

Well, well, well…. Let’s wait to see if this new Bebo grabs as much attention as our Kareena…
