Since then, she has been actively signing Hindi projects and is currently busy filming her upcoming web series, Rakth Brahmand, directed by Raj and DK.
Samantha makes headlines for a Telugu project
On the Telugu front, Samantha had announced a film titled Maa Inti Bangaram, marking her debut as a producer. However, with no updates on the film’s progress, fans have been left disappointed, eagerly waiting for her return to Telugu cinema.
Recent rumors suggested that Samantha would soon collaborate with director Nandini Reddy for a romantic drama. Adding fuel to the speculation, Samantha recently wished Nandini Reddy on her birthday and hinted at spending more time with her this year, further suggesting that the duo might reunite for a film.
As this news gained traction, we reached out to a close source, who denied the reports, calling them baseless rumors.
