Allu Arjun had to personally convince Samantha Prabhu to do an item song in 'Pushpa: The Rise'.

New Delhi: Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been garnering praises for her raunchy item number ‘Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava’ from Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa: The Rise’. The ‘Family Man’ actress however was skeptical to take up the offer and Allu Arjun had to personally convince her to come on board. The 34-years-old also charged a whopping Rs 5 crore for her three minute song.

“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 to be changed,” claims a report in IWMBUZZ.
