Ram Charan's Peddi: Samantha Ruth Prabhu To Be Paid THIS MUCH For Just One Item Song?

In recent years, item songs have become a surefire formula for chart-topping success in Indian cinema. From Samantha Ruth Prabhu's electrifying performance in Pushpa (2021) to Tamannaah Bhatia and Pooja Hegde lighting up the screen in Jailer (2023) and Coolie (2025), these special numbers have captured the audience's attention as much as, if not more than, the films themselves. Interestingly, even when a film already features a well-established lead actress, producers are increasingly opting to cast additional high-profile stars specifically for item songs. These musical numbers have become a staple in many films, often turning into chart-topping hits that captivate audiences regardless of the movie's plot or main cast. This trend highlights the immense popularity and commercial appeal of item songs in today's cinema landscape. For instance, Tamannaah Bhatia's energetic dance performance in the track Aaj Ki Raat from the film Stree 2 (2024) has went viral on social media, garnering widespread acclaim and excitement. Her earlier performance in Jailer was equally celebrated for its charisma and style. Likewise, Pooja Hegde made a remarkable impression with her lively dance number in Coolie, winning over fans and critics alike. Perhaps most notably, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Oo Antava from Pushpa became a nationwide sensation, with its catchy tune and vibrant choreography capturing the imagination of viewers across the country. This growing emphasis on item songs featuring star performers underlines their powerful role in boosting a film's visibility and box office appeal, often becoming an unforgettable highlight that remains etched in the audience's memory long after the credits roll. Now, in a surprising turn, one actress is reportedly being paid a sum for a single song that rivals the fee of leading actors for entire films. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is reportedly gearing up for yet another special number. She is expected to appear in a song in an upcoming Telugu film titled Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu and starring Ram Charan, with music composed by A.R. Rahman. The film is being developed as a pan-India project. Industry sources reveal that Samantha Ruth Prabhu may be paid as much for this single song as she usually earns for a full-fledged acting role, with some reports even suggesting the amount may touch Rs 5 crore. Although discussions are still underway, an official announcement is expected soon.

‘Su From So' review: Kannada film aces horror comedy formula to make us laugh and scream

Thus far, Maddock Films has made a lottery out of its horror comedies Stree, Munjya and Stree 2, which cracked the fine balance of laughs with screams. Kannada film Su From So takes the same formula to delightful it does so with a wee budget and next-to-no big names and negligible visual effects makes it all the more impressive. Already the highest-grossing Kannada film of 2025, collecting Rs 37 crore and giving Sandalwood (Kannada film industry) a new lease of life, the film is expanding its geographic footprint through word-of-mouth publicity. While reveling in its theatrical success, Su From So will certainly find a whole new fan base when it eventually releases on setting is a coastal village with god-fearing citizens. Director-writer J.P. Thuminad plays Ashoka who, in a desperate attempt to hide his erroneous behavior, pretends to be possessed by a ghost. What he hopes would be a distraction from punishment ends up becoming the village's obsession. Calling his spirit self Sulochana (the 'Su' of title), he soon has to contend with umpteen questionable cures, a spiritual baba (Raj B. Shetty) and the village hero and fixer Ravi Anna (Shaneel Gautham). Chaos reigns as Ashoka is entrapped in a mess of his own most engaging films in the genre, Su From So's appeal lies in its ability to intersperse a meaningful message and highlight social evils while doing so. Thuminad's script is high on wit, jibes and observational comedy, which helps in building an endearing portrait of the community and establishing the camaraderie between the folks. But the real appeal of the film lies in how well it deploys the oddball characters it has at its disposal. Everyone gets the spotlight and milks it. Alongside Gautham and Shetty, Pushparaj Bolar, Prakash Thuminad and Deepak Rai shine in this comedy of errors. The emotional heartbeat of Su From So is also a stree—Bhanu (played by Sandhya Arakere), whose entry infuses a hard punch of reality amidst the unfolding craziness. Quiet and vulnerable, she carries a dark secret as she is brought to the village to save Ashoka. Her inclusion brings much depth to the narrative and eventually becomes a clever device to have a coming-of-age arc for his directorial debut, J.P. Thuminad, who traces his roots to Tulu theatre, never veers from the organic roots of his storytelling. Contrivances are kept at bay, so are gags, and even when being silly, it's never cheesy, cheap or insulting. Lot of it boils down to the fact that Thuminad is said to have based the characters on those familiar to him, and cast actors from the same theatre troupe as his as well as newcomers. Ultimately, Su From So succeeds because it subscribes to what's now a familiar adage of filmmaking—the most personal is the most to India Today Magazine- Ends
