Star actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu enjoyed the number one position in Tollywood earlier. But she had slowed down a bit. Samantha had just one release last year with Yashoda. She played a Surrogate mother in Yashoda and gave her best in her role. Samantha owned the action scenes as well.

As the release date is approaching the makers of the film dropped the second single from the film titled “Rushivanamlona”. The song traces the love between King Dushyant and Shakuntala. Mani Sharma gave a tune that is soothing to the ears. Lyric writer Shreemani needs a special mention here. He penned beautiful lyrics and singers Sid Sriram and Chinmayi added life to the lyrics.
The song has become an instant hit and people are loving it. The melody tune makes everyone fall in love with it. The second single hints that the song is going to be a visual wonder with some breathtaking visuals with a forest backdrop.
