While Mangalavaaram wasn’t a big hit, it won decent appreciation from critics and audience for its unique premise, novel characters, and interesting narration with good technical values.
While Payal Rajput played the lead in the first installment, reports suggest she won’t return as the main lead for the sequel. Instead, the director is considering a fresh face to bring a new appeal to the film.

While many assumed Payal’s character would continue from where the first part ended, Ajay Bhupathi seems to have decided otherwise.
The search for the new female lead is ongoing, and one name that has gained attention is Sreeleela. Sources indicate that Ajay believes Sreeleela fits the role perfectly and can elevate the film’s impact.

Sreeleela could be an exciting choice. However, the real challenge lies in whether Sreeleela can pull off an intense and bold character like Payal did in the first part.
In Mangalavaaram, Payal played a woman with a nymphomaniac disorder, and she delivered one of her career-best performances. If the sequel follows a similar path, it will be interesting to see how Sreeleela tackles such a daring role—if she takes it up.

Recently, her sexy avatar in the Kissik song from Pushpa 2 didn’t make much of an impact. She couldn’t match Samantha’s aura or oomph.
Currently, Sreeleela has a packed lineup with films like Robinhood, Mass Jathara, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, and a couple more with Akkineni heroes.
If she signs Mangalavaaram 2, it will add another interesting film to her lineup, pushing her into a bold new space she hasn’t explored before.
