Pushpa 2: Actress Sreeleela is set to feature in a special song in the highly anticipated Pushpa 2: The Rule, but the fee she’s been paid has become a topic of conversation. Reports suggest she received Rs 2 crore for the performance, which is significantly lower—around 60 per cent less—than Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Rs 5 crore payment for her appearance in the hit song Oo Antava in Pushpa: The Rise.
While Rs 2 crore is still a considerable amount, it marks a decrease from Sreeleela’s reported Rs 4 crore fee for her previous appearance in Guntur Kaaram alongside Mahesh Babu, according to a report by OneIndia.com.
Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor was initially approached to perform in the same Pushpa 2 song, but producers allegedly decided against her because her demand for Rs 5 crore was considered too high. This ultimately led to Sreeleela’s inclusion in the project.
