Gorgeous and sensuous beauty Ileana is on cloud nine in recent times as she has bagged a prestigious project Nanban directed by Shankar.

Ileana by doing Nanban will get the required break for her career in Kollywood. Though her earlier film Kedi in Tamil stood as dud but later she tried her luck in Tollywood and now became the hot property in Telugu.

Ileana says "Working with director Shankarji is really awesome and being one of the most wanted directors in India he is very relaxed and calm on sets." Coming to her Tamil dialogues she says "It has been a long time since I spoke Tamil, though it is quite difficult I am managing to speak".

The first schedule of the film has been completed recently in Ooty. Right now director Shankar and music composer Harris Jayaraj are in London for composing the tunes for Nanban.
