Samantha to romance Thalapathy Vijay. According to sources in Chennai, Samantha is set to star opposite Tamil superstar Vijay in an upcoming film. Samantha, looking to expand her Tamil filmography, has chosen to work in a Tamil movie since many Telugu stars have already finalized heroines for their 2024 projects.
The decision to pair Samantha with Vijay stems from their successful collaborations in blockbusters like Mersal and Kaithi, where their on-screen chemistry resonated with audiences. Vijay, currently in talks with directors such as H. Vinod and Trivikram Srinivas among others for his 69th film, could potentially collaborate with Samantha if Trivikram Srinivas directs the project. Samantha's prior work with Trivikram in Telugu films like Aa Aa and Atharintikii Dharedi could make this collaboration more feasible.
In a recent discussion, Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared insights into her career journey, highlighting two pivotal decisions: her participation in the chart-topping song "Oo Antava" from Allu Arjun's film Pushpa, and her challenging role in the series The Family Man 2 alongside Manoj Bajpayee.
She emphasized the personal growth these experiences brought her, comparing the decision to do "Oo Antava" to taking on her character Raji in The Family Man 2. She expressed appreciation for the freedom to make mistakes, learn from them, and trust her instincts without external influences.
