After ruling Tollywood, Samantha made a mark in the digital streaming field with Family Man 2. And her latest song from Pushpa has further strengthened her position in the industry.

How was Samantha approached for Oo Antava

There were also reports of Samantha charging Rs 3 crore for the 3-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," Subhash K Jha was quoted telling a portal.
