There is an allegation against Ileana in Tollywood that the actress is not ready to cut even a small portion of her remuneration, despite being part of a series of flops. "She still demands a bomb", insiders say.

In an apparent bid to put a full-stop to the controversy surrounding her, Ileana has come out with an explanation. "Why should I reduce remuneration just because a couple of my movies bombed at the box office?," she asks.

The pretty actress, who is now busy in Kollywood with 'Nanban' (a remake of 'Three Idiots') directed by Shankar, says, "I can`t underestimate my value and caliber just because of the poor showing of some of my films."
