Pushpa 2: Disha Patani to replace Samantha Prabhu in item song?
Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language action drama film written and directed by Sukumar. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media, it stars Allu Arjun as the titular character alongside Fahadh Faasil, in his Telugu debut, and Rashmika Mandanna.
If the latest media reports are anything to go by then Samantha will be replaced by none other than Bollywood’s sultry actress Disha Patani. It was also said that Disha had refused to do the item song for Allu Arjun starrer’s first installment, but after the massive success of the film, there ain’t gonna be any actress missing this golden opportunity.
Recently, Samantha had opened up about her item song becoming a rage and she had said during the Critics’ Choice Awards’ media interactions, “Not just Telugu audiences, people around the country, have forgotten the other movies I have done, but recognize me for ‘Oo Antava’ now.”
Earlier, IANS also quoted Samantha saying, “There were many inhibitions. I was not ready as I feared how the song would turn out to be. But, Allu Arjun, sat down and convinced me. Without his encouragement, I would not have accepted to do ‘Oo Antava’. Now that this song has become viral all over the country, I have to thank Allu Arjun.”
We wonder if Oo Antava’s success is to be blamed for Disha’s changed decision. Well, only time will tell!
