About Oo Antava

Oo Antava is a dance number from the 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise which also starred Allu Arjun. The song became a hit with the fans. Back in May this year, Samantha recalled her first shot of the song, revealing she was "shaking during it from fear".

Talking with India Today, Samantha said, “I think the decision to do Oo Antava was similar to doing Raji (her character in The Family Man 2. I think the good side of not having too many people around you, no people in your ear putting their opinions that you need to cater to. This is the good side. The flip side is, that I need to make mistakes, learn from them and own my gut instincts. The decision to do Oo Antava came from the place where I had to explore that facet of being an actor. I have always been very uncomfortable with my sexuality. I am not very comfortable or confident. I have always operated from a place like ‘I am not good enough, I don’t feel pretty, I don’t look like the other girls.”

In an interview with Miss Malini last year, Samantha had said, "When I was offered Oo Antava, it was in the middle of the separation [from Naga]. After the announcement came, every well-wisher and every family member was like ‘You will sit at home, you will not do an item song just when you have announced the separation’. Even my friends, who always encouraged me to challenge myself, told me, ‘Do not do an item song’”.
