Trivikram Srinivas and Samantha Ruth Prabhu graced the Alia Bhatt starrer Jigra promotions in Hyderabad as special guests, creating a buzz among fans. Director Trivikram showered praise on Samantha, likening her influence in Indian cinema to that of superstar Rajinikanth.
In a heartwarming video shared by Suresh PRO, the director expressed, “I was just telling Alia Bhatt garu about how Rajinikanth sir is a legendary figure with a strong fanbase across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and other languages. Apart from Rajinikanth garu, Samantha also enjoys a widespread fan following in all languages.”
The audience erupted with excitement and admiration for Samantha as she graciously acknowledged the love, seated beside Alia Bhatt. It’s worth noting that Trivikram and Samantha first collaborated on the blockbuster movie Attarintiki Daredi starring Pawan Kalyan back in 2013.
Their successful partnership continued with hits like S/O Satyamurthy featuring Allu Arjun and A Aa with Nithiin in the subsequent years. At the recent event in Hyderabad, Alia Bhatt commended Samantha as a “pan-Indian superstar,” recognizing her growth in the industry amidst challenges faced by women in a male-dominated domain.
On a different note, Samantha found herself embroiled in a controversy triggered by Telangana Minister Konda Surekha recently. The minister’s unfounded allegations linking Samantha’s divorce from Naga Chaitanya to politician KTR of the BRS party were vehemently refuted by Samantha and her ex-husband.
Shifting focus to Samantha’s professional endeavors, she is currently captivating audiences in the series Rakt Brahmand—The Bloody Kingdom alongside Aditya Roy Kapur. The show, crafted by The Family Man creators Raj & DK, also features Wamiqa Gabbi and Ali Fazal in pivotal roles.
Furthermore, Samantha is set to headline the highly-anticipated series Citadel: Honey Bunny, sharing the screen with Varun Dhawan, promising viewers an exciting cinematic experience.
