The Telugu film "Shaakuntalam" directed by Gunasekhar was a colossal flop at the box office in the United States, collecting only $252k in its opening weekend. The film's overseas distributor is expected to lose around Rs 2 crore on the investment due to low collections. The film's US distributor reportedly saw the film four days before its release and predicted it would be a washout.
Director Gunasekhar's latest film "Shaakuntalam" is a period drama based on the Kalidasa version of the Mahabharata story of Shakuntala and King Dushyanta. The film lacks emotional depth and fails to capture the assertive nature of the original Mahabharata version of Shakuntala. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Dev Mohan deliver impressive performances, while Allu Arjun's daughter Allu Arha brings warmth and freshness to the screen. The 3D conversion is a big letdown. The film receives a rating of 2 stars.
"Shaakuntalam," a high-budget pan-Indian film starring Samantha, is set to release worldwide in theatres on Friday. However, the film's producer, Dil Raju, took the risk of holding premiere shows two weeks before the release, which has resulted in negative remarks from some viewers. The film's success will be determined by the premiere show's response, and Dil Raju's confidence in the film's success is being questioned.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu expresses her excitement about playing the titular role in the highly anticipated film, Shaakuntalam, based on the popular Indian play Shakuntala by Kalidasa. She talks about her love for Disney films and princesses and how playing a Princess in Shaakuntalam was special. Samantha also speaks about Allu Arjun's daughter Arha's acting debut in the movie. She jokes about being a Pan-India star and how her life hasn't changed, and she remains a normal person after 6 pm.
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu opened up about her health condition, myositis, and how her work helped her to fight. She thanked the producers, directors, cast, and crew members of her projects for patiently waiting for her to return. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has returned to work and is currently busy promoting her film Shaakuntalam and shooting for her next web series Indian instalment of Citadel, co-starring Varun Dhawan.
Actress Samantha Prabhu responded to a fan's request to date someone by asking "Who will love me like you do."
