What do we know about the reported rift

The stir around their rumoured rift started last year when it was reported that Sreeleela replaced Samantha in a special dance number for Pushpa 2. The song, Kissik, was compared to Samantha's iconic Oo Antava from Pushpa: The Rise, which had become a massive hit. While Oo Antava was a huge hit, Kissik received mixed reactions, with social media users drawing comparisons between the two stars.

During a press conference, Sreeleela had addressed the backlash. “The song itself will justify my choice. It’s not your typical item song. There’s a strong narrative reason behind it, which will become clear when the movie releases," she said.
