Samantha appeared in Hari-blockbuster Harish’s film Yashoda, which was a huge success. Samantha is the main character in the film, which is supposed to be about mythology but is now entirely focused on Shakuntalam. It was shot in Telugu and will be released in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. Shakuntalam, on the other hand, has been repeatedly postponed because the individuals who developed it felt it was difficult to make and that seeing it in 3D would be a visual delight.
Story
The makers of Shakuntalam haven’t released an official plot summary, but sources say that this very expensive movie is based on “Abhijnana Shakuntalam,” a famous Sanskrit play by Kalidasa. Samantha and Dev Mohan play Shakuntala and King Dushyant from the Mahabharata. Their love story is one of the best-known in Indian history.

Shakuntalam is now available to the public, however it took some time to convert it to 3D. Still, we may expect the film to be released in March 2023. The Shakuntal trailer won’t be ready for a long, but in the meanwhile, we can expect a teaser or other video with more information. You can only see the Shakuntalam movie poster, which you can see here.
Shakuntalam’s budget is approximately 65 crores, which is higher than Samantha’s, but the individuals who made it believed in the tale, so let’s hope for the best. Shakuntalam is a period film about women, and we don’t see many films about women in Telugu, let alone big-budget films about women.
Many people are excited for Shakuntalam, which is set to be released in March 2023. Shakuntalam is a film about women that performed well both critically and commercially, similar to Samantha’s last film, Yashoda, which has a 7.2/10 rating on IMDb.
