In Shaakuntalam, South diva Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be seen in the role of Shakuntala, the queen of Puru dynasty. Malayalam hero Dev Mohan is playing the role of Dusyant opposite Samantha. For the first time in her career, Samantha Ruth Prabhu gave the green signal to a mythological movie Shaakuntalam. Gunasekhar is the helmer of this upcoming much hyped film, which is based on a periodical drama, and is set to release in theaters on 14th of this month. Fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Shaakuntalam. Samantha, who is currently playing the role of Shakuntala, is currently busy in the promotional activities of this film. But recently she has explained the things that no one knows about this movie. In a video posted on Twitter, Samantha shared some interesting facts.
Samantha is allergic to flowers. She said that due to the flowers she wore in the film, she got rashes all over her hands, which looked like a flower tattoo. She said that it remained there for six months and that she put make-up on it to hide it during the shoot.
About this film Samantah said, “But being a modern girl, I relate to that character. Shakuntala’s character connects with today’s girls. Playing the role of Shakuntala is a big responsibility for me as an actress. Before that I was scared. That’s why i said no when Guna Shekhar asked. I just played the role of Razi. Shakuntala should look very beautiful in her role now. A dignity- and grace should be seen in the character with beauty in every frame. I think I have done justice to the role. The reason for that is that my director and producer are satisfied with my performance.”
