Star heroine Samantha has been in the news a lot lately. After staying abroad for a couple of months due to her health treatment, she returned to India and immediately focused on the trailer release of ‘Shaakunthalam’. As we know, she recovered from Myositis inflammation and she has now joined the shooting of her much-awaited web series featuring herself and Varun Dhawan in the lead.
It is taking place in Mumbai and Sam joined the shoot of this series which is created by Raj & DK. Interestingly, she has given first preference for this Indian version of ‘Citadel’ and given her dates to Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Khushi’ in February. As we know, the team of ‘Khushi’ postponed their shoot for the past few months and waited patiently for the star actress. A major part of the ‘Khushi’ shooting has been done and sources say that Sam needs to give a few days to wrap up the production. But she went ahead with her Hindi web series first.
A few netizens are not happy with this as Vijay Deverakonda and the ‘Khushi’ team have been very cooperative during Samantha’s tough times. They gave full support to the star actress and Sam giving first preference to her Hindi web series with Varun Dhawan is drawing a bit of criticism. We need to wait and see if Sam or her team gives any explanation for this or not.
Coming to ‘Shaakunthalam’, it is a historic movie directed by Gunasekhar. It is getting released on February 17th, 2023. Mani Sharma is the music composer while Mohan Babu, Prakash Raj, Ananya Nagalla, Aditi Balan, Kabir Bedi, Kabir Singh and others play key roles. Prawin Pudi is the editor while Sai Madhav Burra penned the dialogues. Presented by Dil Raju, Dev Mohan will be seen as Dushyanta.
