    Samantha Ruth Prabhu will also be seen in the Shiva Nirvana-directed film Kushi, which is about the love between an army officer and a Kashmiri girl. 

    Digital Desk: Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently promoting her next film Shaakuntalam. The actress will be seen playing Shakuntala after winning over fans with her action-packed portrayal in Family Man. The actress shared some behind-the-scenes stories from the movie's set before it was released.

    On Monday, Samantha Ruth Prabhu released a video on Instagram describing some of the "crazy things" she experienced while filming Shaakuntalam. The actress admitted in the video that she had a weird floral allergy, saying, "I had a flower allergy. I had to wear flower decorations all day while shooting, and when I took them off, I got a flower impression on my arm. Since no one could fix it, I assumed it was a permanent condition. I covered that with cosmetics for almost six months before it finally disappeared.”



    "Another odd thing, I got bit by a rabbit at the sets of Shakuntalam, but they are not so cute apparently," the actress added in referring to the incident where she was bitten by a rabbit on the Shakuntalam set.

    On April 14, 2023, Gunasekhar's film Shaakuntalam will be released in theatres. Dev Mohan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu will appear together on-screen. The epic love affair between Shakuntala and King Dushyant is depicted in the well-known Indian drama Shakuntala by Kalidasa, on which the plot of the movie is based. There will be Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions of the mythological romantic drama.

    Samantha Ruth Prabhu will also be seen in the Shiva Nirvana-directed film Kushi, which is about the love between an army officer and a Kashmiri girl. In the film, Vijay Deverakonda and the actress will be romantically involved. On September 1, 2023, the movie is slated for release. The US web series Citadel's Indian episode is also in the works for the actress.
