Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s latest track from Pushpa 2—Peelings—has sparked conversations online for reminding netizens of a hit song from Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree. Fans are divided over the apparent similarities. Do you spot a resemblance?
Expectations from Pushpa 2’s Music
The 2021 Telugu blockbuster Pushpa made waves not only for its gripping storyline and stellar performances but also for its unforgettable songs. Tracks like Rashmika’s iconic hook step on Saami Saami and Allu Arjun’s swag on Oo Antava became chart-toppers. Naturally, fans had sky-high expectations for the sequel’s music.
While Sreeleela and Allu Arjun’s item number didn’t live up to the hype, the chemistry between Allu Arjun and Rashmika in Peelings gave fans some relief. However, the song quickly faced scrutiny for resembling a track from Stree (2018).
Comparing Peelings with Stree’s Song
RJ Apoorva recently posted a video comparing Peelings with Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s popular song from Stree. The clip featured the text: “Same same but different.” This triggered a lively debate online, particularly around the recurring topic of originality in Bollywood and Tollywood.

Netizens React: North vs South Debate
The comparisons drew varied reactions. Some fans pointed out the role reversal in copying, with one user stating, “Dekhaa….ab koi nhi bolna ki sirf bollywood hi copy krta h😂.” Another commented, “Finally Tollywood ne Bollywood ka copy kiya?”
Others, however, defended Pushpa 2. One netizen wrote, “Bollywood ne itna copy Kiya hai toh ek Tollywood ne kiya toh kya hogya.” Meanwhile, another accusation surfaced, claiming, “Pushpa is full copied movie of KGF they just changed GOLD into WOOD 😂😂.”
Amid the heated debate, some found humor in the situation. A comment read, “Chalo finally Bollywood ko koi Song copy hua warna Bollywood he copy karta hai 😂😂😂.”
The Tracks in Focus
Peelings, featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna as Pushpa Raj and Srivalli, is a high-energy track sung by Javed Ali and Madhubanti Bagchi. On the other hand, the Stree song, which starred Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, was a chartbuster sung by Mika Singh and Sachin–Jigar.
While fans continue to discuss the similarities, the ultimate question remains—do the two songs truly sound alike, or is it just a case of déjà vu?
