Salman Khan picks Oo Antava Mawa from Pushpa as his recent favourite song; Samantha reacts to the video

Amid unconfirmed news doing the rounds that Salman Khan and Samantha might share screen presence in the sequel of No Entry (streaming on Zee5), the latter has commented on a video that has been going viral on social media featuring the former. At the recently held IIFA Awards 2022, Salman was asked to choose one of his inspirational songs in recent times.

The Bollywood superstar immediately crooned the first line of the sensational song Oo Antava Mawa from Pushpa (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) which featured Allu Arjun and Samantha. This video of Salman started going viral as soon it was posted on Twitter by a fan of the star. Samantha replied to the video with a heart emoji, too.

Devi Sri Prasad, who composed the song, too, took to his Twitter page to thank the bhai of Bollywood. He tweeted, "Thaank You Dear Salman Bhaaaii (sic)." Interestingly, Devi Sri Prasad will also be working with Salman in his upcoming project Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.

The film is inspired by the Tamil hit movie Veeram (streaming on Jio Cinema and Sun NXT), starring Ajith Kumar in the lead. The original film which was released in 2014 also had DSP as its composer. This isn't the first time DSP is composing a song for a Salman-starrer. The composer had set to tune one song each for Radhe (streaming on Zee5) and Ready (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar) earlier.     

The song Oo Antava Mawa was one of the prime attractions of Pushpa when it was released in December last year. The song and the film went on to become a pan Indian hit and grossed more than 300 crores at the box office. Its sequel is expected to be released in 2023, and makers have begun preparations for shooting.
