Contrary to the reports, sources close to Samantha have clarified that, the actress is very much a part of Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam. From past few days, there have been numerous speculations about Samantha’s existence in Brahmotsavam. Rakul Preet Singh was rumoured to replace Samantha in the Srikanth Addala’s directorial.
As per the sources, Samantha will join the shoot from September 20th. Brahmotsavam will have space for other two heroines to be played by Kajal Agarwal and Pranitha Subhash. Though Mahesh Babu maintained mum, his fans expressed anguish when Samantha criticized a poster of heroine Kriti Sanon following Mahesh’s footsteps in one of the posters of 1 Nenokkadine.
Samantha later interviewed Mahesh and Trivikram Srinivas as part of Memu Saitham event for Hudhud relief fund. During the program, Mahesh clarified that he already forgot about the confrontation. Interestingly, in the song ‘Jatha Kalise’ in Srimanthudu, Mahesh Babu makes his heroine Shruti Haasan’s foot touch him.
Media speculated the act as Mahesh’s retort to Samantha and this sourced to another gossip of the actress kicked out of Brahmotsavam. Mahesh Babu is professional at work, so he has no issues in casting Samantha in his film.
