Anurag Basu has finally signed up Ileana to play the second heroine in Barfee. He had Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra on board and was struggling to find a suitable second heroine. Talks were on to rope in Asin or Deepika Padukone, but both of them turned down the offer for reasons best known to them.
Ileana was recently given a detailed account of Barfee and the actress feels that it would be the right film to make her presence felt in Bollywood. Though Ileana can speak Hindi she is said to undergo accent training to suit the role.
