The last week’s releases have not succeeded in entertaining the audience. This week there is a big release in the form of Shaakuntalam, which stars Samantha in the lead role. The mythological drama has Dev Mohan as the male lead. Gunasekhar directed Shaakuntalam.
Now that the previous week’s releases have failed, all eyes are on Samantha’s film, which hits the screens tomorrow in major Indian languages. With Yasoda, the actress pulled audiences to the theatres, and it has to be seen if Samantha can repeat the same feat again. After scoring success with Rudramadevi, director Gunasekhar has opted for a long gap and is now coming with this love drama.
The success of this high-budgeted film can encourage filmmakers to go ahead with more women-centric flicks. The movie produced by Neelima Guna has Allu Arha in an important role. Shaakuntalam is based on the play Shakuntala written by Kalidasa. Mani Sharma is the music director.
