Queenly beauty Following getting married, samantha Ruth Prabhu lost a lot of the major roles, but after their split, she blasted her hottest presence through Pushpa's Oo Antava song like a ball of fire. She was thrust back into the spotlight as a result, and many telugu producers are now anticipated to line up behind her. But why didn't that happen?

There is a rumour going around that director koratala siva approached the hot siren after noticing Samantha's popularity following the release of the song "Oo Antava." Even earlier rumours said that samantha was a contender for the lead female part in #NTR30. According to an insider, samantha actually only rejected the movie due to her desire for compensation.

While koratala siva offered the senior siren a whopping 2.5 crores as compensation, it is reported that she demanded 4 crores as the cash package otherwise she is not even interested in acting in the movie. Given the lack of strong female roles and opportunities in Koratala's films, it's likely that Samantha's request surprised both koratala and producer Kalyan Ram. sam is reportedly asking for 4 crores currently, however pooja hegde and rashmika mandanna are also reportedly receiving the same amount, along with kiara advani, who is reportedly wanting nearly 5 crores each film from south indian producers.
