Meanwhile, Samantha is getting a lot of praise from not just fans but also fellow actresses like Kriti Sanon, Sanjeeda Shaikh, etc. But did you know, the actress was not keen on doing the song and it was after a lot of convincing from not just makers but also Allu Arjun that she agreed. Not only this but latest report states that she charged a whopping Rs. 5 crores for the three minutes song.
According to IWMBuzz, "Oh, she has charged a bomb for the Oo Antava dance number. Believe me, she was very reluctant. The film’s leading man Allu Arjun personally took the effort to convince her. They had to pay her close to Rs 5 crores for that 3-minute dance number. She had some reservations about some of the dance movements. But gradually she got into the groove and didn’t demand that even one step be changed."
Not only this but the report even stated that the makers are now keen on considering Samantha for yet another ‘special’ song for the sequel Pushpa 2. Now, that's an amazing piece of news for Samantha's fans out there!
