Ending months of speculation, actresses Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sreeleela made a stunning dual appearance at a recent event, bringing to an end the rumored tension over the Pushpa 2 dance song controversy. Their amiable gestures and stunning looks immediately captured headlines and set social media aflame.
In a now-famous image, Samantha and Sreeleela hold hands and exchange affectionate smiles, radiating real camaraderie. Samantha turned heads at a black sheer dress with intricate lace bodice and deep plunging neckline, done up in soft waves falling around her face. Sreeleela matched her in an off-shoulder red dress showcasing her curves, with her hair up in a neat bun and few accessories to round off the look. The two actresses were spotted giggling and posing together, instantly dispelling rumors of any existing feud.
Speculation of a rift began when it was reported that Sreeleela had taken Samantha’s place in a special song for Pushpa 2. The latest track, Kissik, drew immediate comparisons with Samantha’s hit song Oo Antava of Pushpa: The Rise. While Samantha’s rendition made headlines, Kissik found mixed reactions, adding fuel to the controversy.

Sreeleela explained the backlash at a recent press conference, saying, “The song itself will prove my decision. It’s not an item song like others. There is a valid reason behind the story, which will all be revealed when the film is out.”
