Samantha Ruth Prabhu Reacts to Shaakuntalam’s Box Office Failure and Criticism of Her Career

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the popular South Indian actress, seems to have responded to the box office failure of her latest film, Shaakuntalam, and the criticism of her career by a veteran Telugu producer-director. On Tuesday, reports emerged that Shaakuntalam, in which Samantha played the lead role, was struggling at the box office. Furthermore, Chittibabu, a Telugu film producer-director, criticized Samantha’s career in an interview with Filmy Looks.

Seemingly responding to the aftermath of Shaakuntalam’s release and the criticism of her career, Samantha posted a photo on Instagram along with a quote from Bhagwat Gita about karma. The quote highlights the importance of focusing on one’s actions instead of the results and not getting attached to them.

According to reports, Shaakuntalam failed to cross the Rs 10 crore mark at the box office and earned only Rs 60 lakhs on its fourth day. The film allegedly had a budget of Rs 65 crores and is likely to incur losses. Chittibabu claimed in the interview that Samantha’s career as a “star heroine” was over and that she was resorting to “cheap tactics” to promote her movies. He also mentioned that Samantha’s career had ended and that she should continue doing whatever offers she gets.

Samantha has been a prominent figure in the Telugu film industry, and her fans have expressed their support for her on social media. Despite the box office failure of Shaakuntalam, she has several other projects in the pipeline, including the Hindi web series, The Family Man 2.

The criticism of Samantha’s career and her response to it highlights the challenges and pressures faced by actors in the entertainment industry. As per the Bhagwat Gita’s teachings, the focus should be on doing the right actions, and one should not be attached to the results or outcomes.

While the failure of Shaakuntalam is undoubtedly a setback for Samantha, she remains a talented and well-regarded actress in the industry. It remains to be seen how she will navigate this challenging period in her career and emerge stronger.
