Well, now we know that Allu Arjun was behind Samantha doing the song. Showering praises for Samantha, Allu said that even though the actress had numerous doubts regarding her performance, she went ahead with the song after his assurance.

Allu Arjun said, "Samantha garu, thank you so much for doing a song. I know on the set, how many doubts you had. Whether it’s right or not right. You know, I just told you one thing: ‘Trust me and do it.’ You didn’t even ask one question. Thank you so much for trusting us. You won my heart, you won my respect. And congratulations to you for (Oo Antava) being the number 1 song in the world."

To this, Samantha responded that she would always trust him. "And now I will always trust you @alluarjun."

However, a section of people wasn't happy with the song. They slammed 'O Antava' and demanded to ban the song for its controversial lyrics and visuals. It was being said that the song portrays men as lustful which has landed the song in trouble. Meanwhile, lyrics written by Chandra Bose, the song carries a bold message about how in general, men look at women.
