Samantha is hogging the media limelight more than she expected earlier. Samantha is lining up interesting projects. Samantha during Dasara announced a couple of bilingual projects even as she is looking forward to entertaining viewers with films like Shakuntalam and Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal. Rumours have it that Tapsee who launched her own production banner Outsiders is planning to do a female oriented project with Samantha in Bollywood. Another rumour is Samantha is regaining her missed opportunity. It is known that sometime back Samantha was offered the female lead role in Atlee-Shah Rukh Khan's project tentatively titled Lion.
Samantha during that time rejected the offer with plans of starting her own family. The makers also finalised Nayanatara as the heroine. But with Samantha parting ways with Naga Chaitanya and Nayanatara finding it difficult to adjust her dates, the makers are planning to rope in Samantha in the film.
In the meantime, reports are coming that the makers of Nani's upcoming entertainer Dasara are planning to cast Samantha as one of the heroine. The makers already roped in Keerthi Suresh as one of the heroine and they plan to rope Samantha as another heroine. One has to wait and see whether Samantha will give green signal to romance Nani. Samantha and Nani earlier entertained movie lovers with Rajamouli's Eega.
Nani's new project Dasara is directed by newcomer Srikanth Odela. Santosh Narayan is the music director while the film is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri on Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas banner.
