Pushpa 2: How Much Did Sreeleela Earn for the New Item Song Compared to Samantha’s ₹5 Crore Fee?

Allu Arjun’s much-anticipated film, Pushpa: The Rule (Pushpa 2), is creating waves among fans as the release date draws closer. Following the success of Pushpa: The Rise in 2021, fans have been eagerly awaiting the sequel. Finally, the countdown is almost over, with Pushpa 2 hitting theaters on December 5. However, even before its release, the upcoming film’s item number featuring actress Sreeleela has become a hot topic.
Sreeleela Joins Pushpa 2 with a Glamorous Item Song
In Pushpa 2, fans will see Guntur Kaaram actress Sreeleela take the stage in a glamorous new item song, titled “Kissik.” The film’s makers recently released a poster showing Sreeleela in a fiery look on stage, which has generated excitement and curiosity. Many may recall that in the first part of Pushpa, Samantha Ruth Prabhu appeared in the famous item song “Oo Antava,” which quickly became a fan favorite. Sreeleela now steps into this role, following in Samantha’s footsteps, though her fee for the song has stirred some conversations.
According to reports, Sreeleela was paid approximately ₹2 crore for her performance in Pushpa 2’s “Kissik” song. This amount, however, is significantly lower than what Samantha was paid for her iconic “Oo Antava” song in Pushpa: The Rise. Samantha reportedly received around ₹5 crore, making Sreeleela’s pay nearly half that of her predecessor.

Shraddha Kapoor Was Also Considered for the Role
Reports reveal that before finalizing Sreeleela, the film’s producers initially approached Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor for the song. However, Kapoor reportedly demanded ₹5 crore for her performance, which the producers were not willing to meet. As a result, they decided to bring Sreeleela on board, who has already won hearts with her recent performances and is sure to add a fresh spark to the film.
The excitement for Pushpa 2 is palpable, as fans can’t wait to see Allu Arjun return as Pushpa and witness the next chapter of this gripping story.

As the release date nears, fans can expect a grand cinematic spectacle that continues the legacy of Pushpa: The Rise and keeps the buzz alive in theaters.
For now, fans eagerly await both the film and Sreeleela’s sizzling performance, hoping it will be just as captivating as Samantha’s in the first installment. With a combination of drama, action, and dance, Pushpa 2 aims to be one of the biggest releases of the year, bringing audiences back to theaters for an unforgettable experience.
