In an interview, LR Eswari criticised Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava song from the film Pushpa: The Rise. “I don’t like the songs that are coming now.

They sing as told,” Eswari added.

As per a Filmi Beat report, the veteran singer added, “Had I sung the song, the range of it would’ve changed entirely. I didn’t like the song. What would the new coming children (singers) know? Music directors had to look into it and make them sing perfectly.”
