Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s latest feature is Gunashekhar’s Shaakuntalam. Ahead of the film’s release, Prabhu shared her preparations for her part as Shakuntala in the film.
Prabhu wore a wig during the entire shoot, reported Pinkvilla. She wore a 30kg lehenga for a song that didn’t make it into the final cut. On dancing with a 30kg lehenga, Prabhu said “When I was spinning, the lehenga would take me out of the frame and the dance master Raju sir would ask, ‘Why can’t you stay in the frame?’ I was like, I am trying, but the lehenga is taking me out of the frame.” Prabhu also dubbed Shaakuntalam in three different languages: Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
Shaakuntalam also stars Dev Mohan. The film also marks the debut of Allu Arjun‘s daughter Allu Arha. The film was released in theatres on 14th April.
