Future films
Hello, @User:Revirvlkodlaku. Re this edit, please note the there is indeed a standard for WP:FILMOGRAPHY, it says "do not add future projects until filming has begun as verified by a reliable source." As you can see, both the films included have started filming. These are not just "unnamed or vague project ideas" as you claimed (besides, there's no rule that the film should be named, only confirmation of filming.) Thanks and regards. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:09, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, your points are fair. I don't like the addition of those two titles from an aesthetic perspective, but I won't dispute it if you prefer to include them. Thanks for discussing instead of reverting :) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:26, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Revirvlkodlaku Thanks for responding and being nice about it We generally include projects that have commenced filming. So wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything. Regards -- Ab207 (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

American, Indian, or both
While she is botn in the US and thus has (or had) US citizenship, there are no reliable sources apparently which discuss her actual nationality or citizenships. Without better evidence we shouldn't presume that someone from Indian descent, who has worked almost exclusively in India, is still American (nor, of course, the opposite). Indian nationality law apparently doesn't allow dual citizenship. Fram (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, . The subject is born in the US means she's an American citizen by birth. This part is undisputed. Therefore, kindly note that the WP:BURDEN to prove her Indian citizenship is on you, the who seeks to change this info. Regards -- Ab207 (talk) 16:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't claim on the article that she has Indian citizenship. All we know is that she is American-born, from Indian descent, and works mainly (exclusively?) in India. Why anything further needs to be emphasized is unclear, she doesn't seem to proclaim her US citizenship or clearly identify as an American, so why should we insist on labeling her as such just because she was born there and we don't know whether she still is or not? Fram (talk) 16:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Fram Alright, I see that your wording does not imply her citizenship, so that's acceptable to me.
 * It's not uncommon for Indian-origin people to live and work in India while holding a foreign passport, thanks to Overseas Citizenship of India (which is not an actual citizenship despite it's misleading name). So many prefer to retain their western passports for obvious reasons. Anyways, thanks for your explanation, Cheers! -- Ab207 (talk) 16:40, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

ApoorvaJerry (talk) 21:32, 6 September 2023 (UTC) Sreeleela is basically from Ongole and Vijayawada. She lived in Bangalore all her life but was born in Detroit, Michigan. She has recently relocated to Hyderabad for her Cine career and shuffles between Hyderabad and Mumbai where she is pursuing MBBS. Sreeleela's father is accused in the USA, on charges of human trafficking, money laundering and immigration rules violation due to which he fled Detroit and settled in Bangalore, starting Champions group of Companies. He is in a live-in-relationship with Sreeleela's mother younger sister Hema Malini Nidamanuri every since he relocated to India and has two children with her namely Sai Tanvi and Dheeran. Sreeleela's mother Dr Swarnalatha is involved and accused in the Alliance University vandalism case in October 2022, after which she absconded to Kerala after the police filed an FIR. She is known to have a close connect with many Politicians, Film actors, producers and distributors and officials which helped her introduce Sreeleela into films. In October 2021, Sreeleela's father Subhakar Rao Surapaneni called a press meet in Vijayawada to clarify that Sreeleela is not his biological daughter. And that Dr Swarnalatha and Sreeleela are using his name as a propaganda to extort money and property from him. In 2018, he has accused Sreeleela's mother Dr Swarnalatha for committing adultery and he asked her for divorce on that ground. He also requested the court to permit Sreeleela to undergo a DNA test to prove that she is his daughter which was rejected by the court. Sreeleela has two brothers Sreekar Surapaneni, a doctor cum businessman and Sreedeep Surapaneni, a businessman. Sreeleela's mother was offered many roles in movies as a teenager which she could not take up so she is realizing her dream through Sreeleela. Sreeleela studied in Bishop Cotton Girl's school upto 12th standard. She is currently pursuing MBBS at DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai branch. She has trained in Bharatanatyam under the tutelage of Smt.

WP:Ownership
Why is her highest-grossing film Bhagavanth Kesari repeatedly being removed from the lead, despite the article body noting it's one of the biggest commercial successes of Telugu cinema in 2023. The lead is a summary of the most notable aspects of an actor's career, and this film is one of hers. The ownership issues by, who is quick to revert without explanation, is frankly very upsetting to witness. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 19:17, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Krimuk2.0, please do us both a favour and stop making baseless accusations. I don't have ownership issues—I'm simply taking responsibility for this, among many articles, and trying to make sure it stays in good shape. That's part of being a good Wikipedian, as far as I know. Until now, you didn't mention why you insisted on including Bhagavanth Kesari in the lead, and without proper context, it didn't seem appropriate for it to be mentioned, out of all her other projects. Anyway, going forward, if you have an issue with something I do, don't be whiney about it, just come talk to me—I'm a reasonable dude 😀 Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Reasonable dudes and good Wikipedians don't repeatedly hit the revert button to display their superiority, while ignoring what the other person has to say. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Krimuk2.0, you won't get far with me by continuing to make personal attacks and insinuations. If you think monitoring Wikipedia is a display of superiority then... sure, whatever 🤷‍♂️ Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 08:09, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * "monitoring" does not equal to "ownership". Preventing others from improving an article while resorting to false accusations of "personal attacks" when called out is the opposite of Wikipedia ethos. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 08:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Buddy, just chill, ok? Nobody is preventing you from improving the article. I encourage you to improve it! That doesn't mean I won't edit your work if I find it problematic though 🤷‍♂️ Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 20:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Lol, says the one with the problematic edits. Irony is dead. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

RfC on referring to the subject as "American actress"
The subject Sreeleela happens to an American born person who was brought up in India from her childhood. She is known for her appearance in Telugu films. She is known as a Telugu film actress and not an American actress. Multiple editors appear to be disputing on whether the subject should be referred to as a Telugu-film actress, as she is known for the same or she should be referred to as an American actress just because her citizenship happens to of USA. I think it makes more sense to refer to the subject as an Indian-film actress.

For example, if a Brazilian who was born in Brazil came to USA when they were 1 year old or so and later when they are 22 years old, they started acting in Hollywood films and are known for the same, I'd refer to them as a Hollywood actor or American film actor and not Brazilian actor right. Please correct if this is wrong.

Should the subject be referred to as an Indian-film actress or as an American actress.

Inviting administrator and other editors comments on this matter.

Note: Akshay Kumar was a Canadian citizen until he recently renounced his Canadian citizenship and became an Indian citizen, however, even when he was a Canadian citizen, he was never referred to as a Canadian actor. Thewikizoomer (talk) 18:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Indian and American This is a straight forward case per MOS:NATIONALITY. Also, this RFC statement is a little long and it's not neutral. Nemov (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Indian: I get the nationality argument, but I happen to think that since that is the only American thing about her, considering that she lives and works in India, it would be more accurate to refer to her as an Indian actress. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * American actress of Indian descent or Indian-American actress should suffice in this case. Putting only Indian actress is problematic as the subject is an American national of Indian ethnicity, and as per MOS:ETHNICITY, ethnicity should not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability and instead we use citizen or national. Since we see a lot of cases like these, I will list a few examples which might help. Alia Bhatt's lead is a good indicator and is rather similar to the subject concerned here and similar cases such as Katrina Kaif, Deepti Naval who have lived and worked in India predominantly. Similarly in a reverse case Freida Pinto's lead is Indian actress despite her working predominantly in American film industry. Regarding Akshay Kumar's lead, before his switch back to Indian nationality it read Indian-born naturalised Canadian actor, as shown here []. Lancepark (talk) 17:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * American if referring to her nationality. Indian may be misunderstood without clarification. Senorangel (talk) 02:30, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Indian actress, born in America, (assuming that she has Indian citizenship). Alternatively put No nationality in the opening sentence, but leave that topic till later. We could also say Indian and American (assuming that she has both citizenships), but I personally find that less informative as it doesn't give any 'backstory', merely records the passports she is entitled to hold. There appears to be nothing American about her at all, except her place of birth, and it would be misleading to put that alone. Adolf Hitler is described as a German politician, because that is what he was when he became notable, his Austrian birth/early life is dealt with elsewhere. Pincrete (talk) 10:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Indian and American. I would prefer to use American actress on the basis of her nationality and Indian by assuming she also has Indian citizenship. Fade258 (talk) 16:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The fact of her being an "American" (or a citizen thereof) is entirely WP:OR and WP:SYNTH based on the fact that she was born there (cf. birthright citizenship in the United States). We need explicit RS that confirm her citizenship as such per WP:NATIONALITY which I have been unable to locate (at least ones that are not WP:CIRCULAR) not mere conjecture on what it is. The fact that she was raised and educated in India and works there tilts me towards a descriptive of either an "Indian actress" or an "actress who works in Indian cinema". Gotitbro (talk) 11:45, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also the single source in the article listing her birthplace as Detroit is a WP:LISTICLE and very likely WP:CIRCULAR, have not been able to locate any valid RS which confirms her birthplace as well. Gotitbro (talk) 20:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Indian and American (Per prior comments) —  Sadko  (words are wind)  22:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * American of Indian origin Seems she has American citizenship . Agree with Lancepark's rationale.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:59, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Appears circular to me as well (with generic personal details taken from here or others which copied enwiki), also a poor source with not even a basic byname as to who wrote it.
 * The only original point it puts forth is that she wants to complete her med school in India and her mother wants to open up a hospital in Bangalore. These too are based on unverifiable "reports". Gotitbro (talk) 13:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Ok Thewikizoomer (talk) 03:48, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I vote for straight "Actress" without a nationality signifier. Separately in the lead, it can be stated where she is currently living and working. Where she was born and raised can be handled under early life and education rather than the lead.  Slacker13 (talk) 15:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 23 February 2024
Please change 'American actress' to 'actress'. Sreeleela has never acted in any American movies, she was only born there and grew up in Bangalore. It is misleading to call her an American actress. 202.7.239.20 (talk) 10:05, 23 February 2024 (UTC) — Urro[ talk ] [ edits ] ⋮ 13:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
