Shakuntalam releases tomorrow - A must win for Samantha & Gunasekhar

With the release of the highly anticipated film Shakuntalam just around the corner, fans and moviegoers eagerly await its arrival in theaters. The film is a must-win for actress Samantha after her last film, Yashoda, failed to make an impact at the box office. Samantha is pinning big hopes on Shakuntalam, as this is her first solo attempt at a mythological film, and the success ratio of mythological films is usually less compared to other genres.

Director Gunasekhar, who also has a poor track record in recent times, is also counting on the film to be a hit. However, the pre-release buzz and expectations around the film are quite positive, with fans excited to see Samantha take on the role of Shakuntala in this adaptation of the popular play Abhignyana Shakuntalam by Kalidasa.

Apart from Samantha, the film also stars Dev Mohan as Dushyanta, the king of the Puru dynasty, along with Mohan Babu, Jisshu Sengupta, Madhoo, Gautami, Aditi Balan, and Ananya Nagalla in supporting roles. The star-studded cast has only added to the hype surrounding the film.

The film's trailer has been well-received by audiences, and the music composed by Mani Sharma has also been praised. The film's cinematography, visual effects, and costumes have also been lauded for their grandeur and authenticity.

The expectations for Shakuntalam are quite high, and it remains to be seen if the film will live up to its hype and emerge as a box-office hit. With its release scheduled for April 14th, fans eagerly await to see if Samantha and Gunasekhar can deliver a compelling and successful mythological film.
