Young actress Sreeleela surpassed her Bollywood rivals and bagged the special song in ‘Pushpa The Rule’ and the first glimpse of her song “Kissik’ has gone viral. “Many Bollywood actresses were willing to do the special song since its reach and mileage were well-accounted for after the massive success of Samantha’s ‘Oo Antava’ in ‘Pushpa The Rise’ which became a rage,’ says a source and adds, “Shraddha Kapoor who was basking in the massive success of ‘Stree 2’ evinced lot of interest for this dancing number and her team held discussions with the makers. Even her colleague and Bollywood siren Tripti Dimri was also interested and was in touch with the makers. More than the money, they were craving for the popularity the song would fetch them, ‘ he adds.
However, director Sukumar zeroed in on Sreeleela over others since she is also making her debut in Bollywood and also for her immense dancing prowess. “She is one of the best dancers among new-age Telugu actresses and it fetched her the racing number,’ he informs and explains, “The makers had a limited time to wrap up the dance number and wanted an actress who could do it in three or four days with lesser number of days for rehearsals and Sreeleela scored over others in this aspect. This song could take her closer to Hindi-speaking viewers before she makes her Bollywood debut and she didn’t mind a lesser pay cheque too,” he adds.
No doubt, Allu Arjun is a dancing sensation and showcased his dancing prowess along with his distinct style, and grace in many numbers and Sreeleela found her match in ‘Pushpa’ actor. “Matching dancing steps with Allu Arjun is not easy but Sreeleela managed to finish her work and impressed the makers as well,” he concludes.
