According to OTTPlay.com, Pushpa 2 director Sukumar has again approached Samantha for another special song in the sequel. Samantha was also rumoured to have a prominent role in Pushpa: The Rule.

According to the source, the producers are "working hard" to persuade her and aiming to bring in a major star for this unique song. Sukumar is also said to have invented a minor character for Samantha and linked it to the plot.
It was previously stated that Pushpa's lead actor Allu Arjun personally persuaded Samantha to feature in Oo Antava. She is said to have demanded Rs 5 crore for the three-minute song. Samantha remarked during a media interview at the Critics Choice Awards last year that she was overwhelmed by the feedback she received for Oo Antava.
"I can't express how much kindness people have shown me. I didn't anticipate 'Oo antava' to be such a big hit all throughout India "Samantha said. "Not only Telugu viewers, people all across the nation have forgotten the previous movies I've done, but they recognise me for 'Oo Antava' today," the 'Rangasthalam' actress stated."
