in

BUZZ.COM,
Samantha
was
paid
a
massive
Rs
5
crore
for
being
part
of
the
item
number.
The
report
further
claims
that
the
leading
man
of
the
entertainer
Allu
Arjun
had
to
convince
her
to
collaborate
with
him
for
the
film.
They
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Oh,
she
has
charged
a
bomb
for
the
'Oo
Antava'
dance
number.
Believe
me,
she
was
very
reluctant.
The
film's
leading
man
Allu
Arjun
personally
took
the
effort
to
convince
her."
Talking
about
the
remuneration
part,
the
source
said,
"They
had
to
pay
her
close
to
Rs
5
crore
for
that
3-minute
dance
number.
She
had
some
reservations
about
some
of
the
dance
movements.
But
gradually
she
got
into
the
groove
and
didn't
demand
that
even
one
step
be
changed."
