Ganesh Acharya Opens Up On Choreographing 'Oo Antava' For Allu Arjun And Samantha Ruth Prabhu: 'They Rehearsed It For Two Days And Did Justice To The Song'
Ganesh Acharya talks about choreographing 'Oo Antava' for Allu Arjun and Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa: The Rise is a big success. The movie which was released in December last year has received an amazing response from the audience and the critics. The Pushpa craze is just unstoppable. From acting to songs, Pushpa has been making headlines for all the right reasons. Samantha Ruth Prabhu featured for the first time in a special dance number 'Oo Antava' and absolutely nailed it. Ganesh Acharya, who choreographed the song, has now shared his experience working with Samantha as well as Allu Arjun.
Speaking to ETimes, Ganesh shared, "The film was to release on 17th December and Allu Arjun called me on 2nd or 3rd saying Masterji we want to do a song and all that. I told him that it's really on short notice and I have cataract surgery tomorrow. But then the producers spoke with the doctor and moved the date and called me to choreograph the song. We rehearsed for two days and started the shoot. I choreographed Samantha for the first time."
Sharing his experience working with Samantha, he said that the actress was nervous because the song was planned all of a sudden. "She didn't know that I was going to choreograph. I guess someone else was going to choreograph the song but then Allu Arjun called me to choreograph it. I briefed them on how I wanted to do the song and how we will do the sensual moves. They rehearsed it for two days and did justice to the song," he said.

Talking about how he handles sensuality, Ganesh said, "There are different ways to show sensuality. I don't believe in exposing too much. Even if a lady lifts her sari a little from her feet, it can look sexy. Attitude is good enough to look sensuous. Both Samantha and Allu Arjun brought a certain attitude to the song and I think that's why this song has worked well."
A couple of days ago, Ganesh had shared a BTS video from the song's shoot. He captioned it, " "Another hit with my favourite, spent the most fun time on set with these two @alluarjunonline @samantharuthprabhuoffl #pushpa @vidhi.acharya @aryasukku."
