There are rumorus doing rounds that Samantha would next be teaming with debut director Gautham for a Tamil film. However, when we checked with our sources close to the team, they denied the news as false. It is true that Samantha was approached for the project but unfortunately things didn’t work out as expected. Samantha is one of the most sought after and leading actors in South Indian film industry. She was last seen in Jaanu, the Telugu remake of 96 and her performance in the film received good reviews. In Tamil, Samantha’s last release was the critically acclaimed Super Deluxe, directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja. Samantha’s character and performance as Vaembu was absolutely brilliant and people even called it as one of her career best performances. Up next, she would be seen playing one of the female leads in Vignesh Shivan’s next directorial - Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal which stars Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara as the other leads. The shooting of the film is touted to begin towards the end of this year when things get back to normalcy.  
 
Samantha will also be playing one of the antagonists in the upcoming web series - The Family Man: Season 2, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani in the lead roles. Directed by Raj - DK, this web series will stream on Prime Video and it happens to be Samantha's debut in the digital space. Samantha recently resumed dubbing for this season after lockdown break.  She is also one of the fittest women in the South film industries redefining boundaries. Samantha is one of the very few women who is continuing to play lead roles even after her marriage. She has been an inspiration to many women in many ways and her fitness is something that leaves not just women but everybody in awe. Let’s hope she signs more projects and entertain us for a longtime to come.
