Pushpa 2: Leaked Photo Confirms THIS Actress In Dance Number Opposite Allu Arjun

Allu Arjun ’s Pushpa: The Rule is gearing up for its release on December 5. As the dates come near, fans are eager to know if the sequel will feature a new dance number. In Pushpa: The Rise, Samantha Ruth Prabhu fiery audiences with her performance alongside Allu Arjun in the song Oo Antava. Now, fans are keen to see who will take on the item song in the sequel, which is among the most anticipated Pan-Indian films. Initially, Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor and Tripti Dimri were in talks. However, recent rumours were dispelled when a leaked image surfaced, showing actress Sreeleela dancing with Allu Arjun.

Not Shraddha Kapoor, Sreeleela to perform item song with Allu Arjun in Pushpa 2

The item song lead has finally been confirmed after a photo from the shoot got leaked. In the photo going viral on social media, Sreeleela dressed in a striking black outfit, featuring a beautifully embellished golden-black blouse and a draped black skirt.

This photo has stirred excitement among fans about the upcoming item song in Pushpa 2.

According to reports, Sreeleela and Allu Arjun filmed the item number in Hyderabad on a special set created in a studio, with music composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

Why did Shraddha Kapoor get replaced?

Earlier reports hinted that either Shraddha Kapoor or Triptii Dimri might have a special appearance in the movie, sparking rumours of Tollywood star Sreeleela's involvement. Speculation also surrounds Samantha Ruth Prabhu potentially making a cameo. 

According to Koimoi, Shraddha had requested a fee of Rs 5 crore, the same amount Samantha received for her item number Oo Antava in Pushpa: The Rise. However, the makers of Pushpa 2 declined Kapoor's request.
