Star Producer Joins Shaakuntalam

Actress Samantha joins hands with director Gunasekhar for a mythological film Shaakuntalam to be bankrolled by the director himself on Gunaa Team Works. Malayalam actor Dev Mohan is roped in to play the male lead as King Dushyanta in the film which had its formal Pooja ceremony in Hyderabad.

Star producer Dil Raju comes on board as one of the producers of Shaakuntalam. Films of these kinds need huge investment and apparently Dil Raju loved the script, thus he came forward to co-produce Shaakuntalam along with Gunasekhar. The news has been announced officially and the star producer is seen during the launching event.

Shaakuntalam is about the story of Shakuntala, daughter of the sage Vishwamitra and the apsara Menaka. It will delve into the immortal love of Dushyanta and Shakuntala. Samantha will start working for the film from 20th of this month.

The brand Dil Raju will surely bring extra buzz for the film which is likely to release sometime, next year.
