Ileana who is the highest paid actress in the South, has just booked herslf a first-class ticket to Bollywood! She will be starring opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Anurag Basu's Barfi. She will be playing a very interesting character as the story arc for this role starts with her being a teenager and finishes at 60! Ranbir will be a deaf-mute in this film. There is another meaty heroine role and word is that it will go to either Asin or Priyanka Chopra.

The Nanban heroine would have preferred a solo launch but she accepted as the role allows her to perform while showing off her glam side as well. It is an unconventional launch but Ileana is sure it will work for her.
