Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sreeleela have seemingly put an end to all speculation of tension between them, which arose after the Pushpa 2 dance song controversy. The actresses made a striking joint appearance at a recent event, where their warmth and elegance spoke volumes, effectively silencing any lingering rumors.
Here is the video:
A photo now rapidly circulating online shows Samantha and Sreeleela exchanging smiles and holding hands, radiating an undeniable camaraderie. Samantha looked glamorous and confident in a black sheer gown featuring an intricate lace bodice and a plunging neckline. Her hair was styled in soft waves, elegantly framing her face.
Sreeleela, on the other hand, chose a bold off-shoulder red gown that beautifully accentuated her silhouette. With her hair neatly tied in a chic bun and minimal accessories, she exuded effortless grace. The two actresses were observed chatting and posing side-by-side, definitively putting an end to months of conjecture.
The buzz around their alleged fallout began last year following reports that Sreeleela had replaced Samantha in a special dance number for Pushpa 2. This new track, titled “Kissik,” inevitably drew comparisons to Samantha’s blockbuster hit “Oo Antava” from Pushpa: The Rise. While “Oo Antava” became a cultural phenomenon, reactions to “Kissik” were mixed, prompting further scrutiny.
During a press conference, Sreeleela addressed the backlash and clarified her decision to be part of the film. “The song itself will justify my choice. It’s not your typical item song. There’s a strong narrative reason behind it, which will become clear when the movie releases,” she explained.
Rumors also swirled concerning pay disparities, with claims that Samantha received ₹5 crore for her appearance in “Oo Antava,” while Sreeleela reportedly got ₹2 crore. Laughing off this speculation, Sreeleela stated, “We haven’t even discussed the remuneration with the producers yet.”
So, the things got sorted.
