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.
