Samantha Ruth Prabhu, one of South India’s most celebrated actresses, gained nationwide recognition with The Family Man 2. Since then, she has actively pursued Hindi projects and is currently filming Rakth Brahmand, a web series directed by Raj & DK.
In Telugu cinema, Samantha had earlier announced Maa Inti Bangaram, marking her debut as a producer. However, with no updates on the film, fans eagerly await her Tollywood comeback. Recently, speculation arose about her teaming up with director Nandini Reddy for a romantic drama. The rumors gained traction after Samantha’s birthday wish for Nandini hinted at spending more time together, leading fans to believe a project was in the works.
However, industry sources quickly dismissed the claims. If true, the film would have marked their second collaboration after Oh! Baby, which grossed nearly ₹50 crore and reinforced Samantha’s box office power.
Addressing the rumors, Nandini Reddy took to social media to clarify:
“My next is not a remake. It’s an original script produced by @SwapnaCinema. Whenever @Samanthaprabhu2 and I do our next, we will announce it with joy and pride. Now, time for the next rumor… my rating for this rumor is 1/5. Come on guys, you can do better.”
Nandini’s next film is an original story penned by Shravya Varma. As for Samantha’s much-anticipated return to Telugu cinema, fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
