Icon star Allu Arjun and creative director Sukumar’s ‘Pushpa‘ was a massive hit, with no need for special mention. Particularly, the item song ‘Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava’ performed by Samantha became a sensation across the country. In this backdrop, Sukumar has set up a similar item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) for the currently filming ‘Pushpa 2’. This time, replacing Samantha, Sreeleela is performing this special song. Recently, photos of Sreeleela from the song shoot set have also surfaced. Alongside this, a piece of news regarding Sreeleela’s remuneration has come out, sparking debates about injustice done to her.
What’s Sreeleela’s Remuneration?
The film ‘Pushpa 2‘, formed from the Allu Arjun – Sukumar combo, is set to release worldwide on December 5. The prominent production company, Mythri Movie Makers, is producing this film with an approximate budget of Rs. 500 crores, sparing no expense. In this process, it is rumored online that the heroine Sreeleela, who performed in the item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song), has been paid a hefty sum. It’s talked within film circles that she received Rs. 2 crores remuneration for this song, known as ‘Kissik’. The total cost including the set and heroine’s remuneration is estimated to be around Rs. 5 crores.
Injustice Compared to Samantha!
In the ‘Pushpa’ film released in 2021, Samantha performed an item song and reportedly received a remuneration of Rs. 5 crores at that time. However, the fact that Sreeleela has been given only Rs. 2 crores for the recent item song has her fans upset, posting on social media about the perceived unfairness. They express dissatisfaction that she hasn’t even been given half of what was paid to Samantha, questioning what less Sreeleela has. Yet, film circles refute this, stating no injustice has been done to Sreeleela. Reports suggest that while Sreeleela earns around Rs. 4-5 crores for a three-hour movie, she’s being paid Rs. 2 crores for just a three-minute song in ‘Pushpa 2’, arguing that she’s actually receiving more than her market value.
Sreeleela.. Bunny’s Choice!
The decision to choose Sreeleela for the Pushpa 2 item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) wasn’t just director Sukumar’s idea but also came from Icon star Allu Arjun, sources reveal. Bunny had previously worked with Sreeleela on an ad for the prominent OTT platform ‘Aha’, where their chemistry was well-received on social media. Also, among the current generation of actresses, Sreeleela is acclaimed as one of the best dancers. Considering all these, it’s said that Bunny showed a particular fondness for featuring Sreeleela. Earlier, Bollywood star heroines like Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tripti Dimri were considered for this item song.
