I think they misunderstood I wasn't interested in Telugu since Barfi was a big success."

She added that directors like Puri, Trivikram always have liberty to call her anytime and she's ready to act in Telugu. Ileana said she is missing Hyderabad and its food. She said she's aware of all the road routes in the city and she herself guides the driver on the shortcuts.

Explaining the long gap, she said, "I didn't plan a break. It just happened. When Happy Ending didn't do well, I was very disappointed and confused. I wasn't getting interesting offers. So, hoping to do good roles, I refused several films that came my way. The weeks turned into months and months into year-and-a-half." As offers dropped in Hindi, Ileana is now addressing Telugu makers. The controversial question is are there any takers given she charges a bomb.
