An industry source has dismissed talk of actress Sreeleela dating Indian cricketer Tilak Varma, calling the claims unfounded. The source stated that Sreeleela and Tilak have never met or spoken, despite growing online chatter. The denial comes after weeks of speculation linking the actor and the Mumbai Indians batter.

As reported by Pinkvilla, an industry source said, "The rumours surrounding Tilak Varma and Sreeleela are completely baseless and untrue. The two have never even met or spoken to each other. There is absolutely no truth to these speculations and such fabricated stories should not be circulated without any factual basis."

Earlier, attention had already turned to Sreeleela when a person identified as Sreeleela's mother, Dr. Swarnalatha, was reportedly seen during Mumbai Indians' IPL match against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. Sreeleela later attended a World Cup game at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, where one member of the group wore a jersey with "Tilak" printed on the back.

As both Sreeleela and Tilak Varma attract strong youth followings, fans soon linked these moments with the viral video. Social media users began examining their online activity, and several unverified posts claimed the two may have unfollowed each other. However, none of these claims have been supported with clear proof so far.

Amid the noise around Sreeleela and Tilak Varma, focus has also turned to Sreeleela's projects. Sreeleela is preparing for a Bollywood debut in an untitled Anurag Basu film featuring rumoured boyfriend Kartik Aaryan. Sreeleela will also appear in Dhanush's upcoming Tamil film, keeping work at the centre of public attention.
