It was recently confirmed that Sreeleela will be featured in a special song for Pushpa 2.
The actress, known for her work in Guntur Kaaram, will share screen space with Allu Arjun.
Interestingly, Sreeleela’s fee for the song is significantly lower than Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s fee for the iconic Oo Antava from the first installment.
According to reports, Sreeleela has been paid Rs 2 crore for her special appearance in Pushpa: The Rule.
While this is a substantial amount, it’s significantly lower than the Rs 5 crore fee Samantha Ruth Prabhu received for her iconic performance in the Oo Antava song from the first installment. Additionally, Sreeleela’s fee for Pushpa 2 is half of what she charged for her role in Guntur Kaaram.
Previously, reports surfaced that the makers approached Stree 2 star Shradhha Kapoor for starring in the special song. However, she was denied the demanded fee of 5 cores that Samantha received.

On November 10, the makers dropped a blazing poster of Sreeleela against a fiery backdrop. The actress is striking a pose donning an embellished black blouse paired with a slit black draped skirt. Welcoming “The Dancing Queen” on board, the makers wrote, “A feast for the eyes like you’ve never seen before! A celebration of pure energy. #Kissik Song of the Year. #Pushpa2TheRule #Pushpa2TheRuleOnDec5th.”
Taking to the comments section, several fans compared her to Samantha. “She can’t pull off what samanatha did.” Another wrote, “Sreeleela has the potential to create a big impact, but it’s tough to match Samantha’s iconic Oo Antava magic!”. Moreover, one fan commented, “No wayy she never can be a samantha. She was the biggest hype and promotion for pushpa. Sreeleela can never do that.” Meanwhile, several believe that the track will be a chartbuster. “Sreeleela is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. Kani ippativaraku andharu mass dance eh veyinchaaru waiting to see her dance for a classical number”
Pushpa 2 features Allu Arjun, Fahadh Faasil, and Rashmika Mandanna, reprising their roles as Pushpa Raj, Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, and Srivalli, respectively. Pushpa: The Rule’ will hit theatres on December 5.
