For months, there has been speculation about who would perform the item song in Pushpa 2, one of the most anticipated Pan-Indian films.
Initially, Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor was approached, and she even agreed to do it. However, when it came to the payment, Shraddha quoted a whopping Rs 8 crores for the song, which left the filmmakers stunned.
The production team tried negotiating and reportedly raised their offer up to 3 crores, but Shraddha held firm on her demand. With negotiations reaching a deadlock, they decided to approach another actress Sreeleela.
Although Sreeleela may not have the Bollywood fame that Shraddha does, she is an exceptional dancer, having showcased her skills in Guntur Kaaram.
Sreeleela ultimately agreed to do the song for 1.5 crores, making her a budget-friendly and talented choice. So though it was initially reported that she is bagging Rs 3 Cr for this item song, it's actually half of it.
