Pushpa was a rage at the box office and all eyes are now on the sequel, Pushpa 2. The shooting of the Allu Arjun-starrer is happening at a brisk pace in Hyderabad and news about the film's special item number has now gone viral on social media.

News is making the rounds that the happening Telugu heroine, Sreeleela, will be shaking a leg in Pushpa 2's special song which will be canned soon. Well, we have come to know that this news is untrue and has been confirmed by one of the sources close to the unit.

Going into details, Samantha Ruth Prabhu appeared in the special song, Oo Antava Mava, in part one and there was news that she will be part of the sequel as well. But news started spreading that as she refused to be a part of the sequel, the makers roped in Sreeleela to do this number.

Speaking about the same the source says, "There is no truth in this news as Sukumar is yet to lock the star who will sizzle in the sequel". News about Sreeleela demanding Rs 2 crore to be a part of the song has also gone viral and this news too has been slammed by the source.

Sreeleela is known for her dances and killed it in Guntur Kaaram's item song Kurchi Madatapetti. Ever since this song went viral, news has come out that she is part of Pushpa 2. The source goes on to add, "Sukumar is yet to wrap up a chuck of the shoot and has decided to finish the talkie portions first and then think of the songs".

Sreeleela is a solid option to shake a leg with Allu Arjun but the last time the duo appeared in a special number for an Ad on Aha, there were a lot of mixed reactions from the fans. But since then, Sreeleela has amassed a massive fan following in Telugu cinema and will be great to see in this special song. But sadly, none of the reports coming in are true.

Sreeleela played the female lead in Guntur Kaaram and her chemistry with Mahesh Babu has been appreciated a lot. She is the top actress in Telugu cinema as of now and demands big bucks for her films. So, naturally, her name has been dragged into the Pushpa 2 cast.

On the other hand, Pushpa 2 also has Fahadh Faasil, Anasuya Bhardwaj, Sunil, and Rashmika Mandanna in key roles. The action drama has music by DSP and is all set to hit the screens on August 15, 2024. Watch this space for more updates on this project.
