There was a hue and cry on the item song OO Antava and Ooh oo Antav
Samantha gave answers to many of the controversial questions posed by popular anchor and producer Karan Johar on his program called Koffee with Karan. She talked about her divorce and also the popular song of Pushpa Ooh Antava.
Samantha said, “The third, f*c* it I’ll do it. I mean why not? I loved the song. It was a satire on the male gaze. I know I got a lot of criticism about pandering to the male gaze while making a satire on the male gaze.
My logic was who else can satire a male gaze except for the nautch girl I was playing in the song or an actor who has a wide experience or wide range of the male gaze?
Only a nautch girl or I can satire the male gaze. The song is still very popular today and it has brought huge publicity to Samantha, Now the director Sukumar is forced to search for another item song of the same range for Pushpa two.
In fact, he is doing Pushpa three also. Devi Sri Prasad is the music director for the second part, but he has a tough task ahead as he has to give a better itme song when compared to first part.
Chandrabose will write the lyrics again.
