The song was also released in other languages through the same name. Upon the release, it was compared to "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" from Pushpa: The Rise (2021), and was subjected to criticism owing to its lyrics and dance choreography.[2][3] Sreeleela's dance was also criticized while comparing with her performance in "Kurchi Madathapetti" from Guntur Kaaram (2024).[4] In contrast, following the film's release, it peaked at number one on the Billboard India Songs in the third week and had a significant commercial success.[5]

Background and composition

Owing to the success of "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" from Pushpa: The Rise (2021), the production team insisted Devi Sri Prasad to include a similar item number in the sequel. By March 2023, the song was finalized.[6] Tamil singer Sublahshini was chosen to record the song.[7]

Sublashini had recorded the song in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada versions. Lothika had recorded the song in Hindi along with Sublashini. Ujjaini Mukherjee was hired to sing the Bengali version of the song.[8] Priya Jerson recorded the Malayalam version of the song.[9]

Background and production

There were speculations about various actresses including Triptii Dimri, Janhvi Kapoor, Disha Patani and Shraddha Kapoor, being considered for the item song.[10][11][12] However, these speculations turned out to be false as Sreeleela was later finalised for the song.[13][14] Jani Master was hired to choreograph the song, but was eventually replaced by Ganesh Acharya, due to sexual assault allegations.[15] The latter had also choreographed the song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava".[16] The song was filmed in November 2024 in Hyderabad.[17]
