By now, it is a well-known fact that Samantha Ruth Prabhu has turned producer. Her maiden production venture, Subham, turned out to be a smash hit at the box office and is currently streaming on OTTplay Premium. Encouraged by the success, Samantha has now teamed up with husband Raj Nidimoru to launch a new production banner focused on content-driven films.
The first project under this banner is titled Maa Inti Bangaaram, a thriller created by Raj Nidimoru. The shooting of the film has almost been wrapped up, and in a surprising move, the makers announced that the Samantha-starrer will hit theatres on May 15, 2026.
The release date announcement came without prior notice or promotional buildup, catching fans off guard. The team simply revealed that the film is gearing up for a grand theatrical release.
The film features a strong supporting cast, including Gulshan Devaiah, Gautami, Sreemukhi, and others in key roles. Music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan. The recently released teaser has generated decent buzz, presenting Samantha in a refreshing avatar.
In Maa Inti Bangaram, Samantha plays a seemingly typical housewife who is secretly a spy. The story revolves around how she balances life in a joint family while hiding her true identity as a deadly operative.

The film is directed by Nandini Reddy, who earlier worked with Samantha on the hit film Oh! Baby. This project has reportedly been made on a controlled budget, with the makers opting for minimal promotions so far.
There are also reports suggesting that the film might be a remake of a Korean hit, though the original title has not been officially confirmed.
