Samantha pens appreciation post for Allu Arjun on ‘Pushpa’ release

Just two days after Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ release at the box office, it managed to become a major draw despite mixed reviews. Amongst several who poured praises on the actor and the film, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu penned an appreciation post for the film’s lead star. It needs to be noted that she has done a special dance number in the movie.
Samantha wrote, “This is an @alluarjunonline appreciation post !! A performance that just keeps you hooked .. every second I am always always inspired when an actor is just so good that it is impossible to look away .. @alluarjunonline was that for me in #Pushpa .. from the accent to the one side drooping shoulder and that god damn SWAG …. Phew .. absolutely stunning .. truly truly inspired.”
She also responded to fan videos from inside theatres, and wrote, “Missed the mass #ooAntavaOoooAntavaa.” Makers of the film did not release the music video of ‘Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava’ ahead of release and the song is now receiving amazing response from audiences in theatres.
Samantha had initially rejected the song as revealed by director Sukumar at a press conference. He said, She initially told me that she might not be the right choice for it. I explained to her how the song would be a hit. Such numbers had brought fame to many top female stars. Take the case of Pooja Hegde, she played “Jigelu Rani” in Rangasthalam and the song went on to become a massive chartbuster. I am sure that the song in Pushpa is being received well by the masses. Samantha did the song believing in the trust that she has in me.”
‘Pushpa: The Rise’ was released nationwide in theatres on Friday.
