Shakuntalam: Samantha is ethereal as the divine beauty in first look poster

Samantha Ruth Prabhu shares a movie look poster for her upcoming movie Shakuntalam. She captioned her post, “presenting…nature’s darlings…ethereal and dignified…Shakuntala of #Shaakuntalam.”

The poster shows Samantha in a forest surrounded by animals and birds. She was sitting on a rock with a kettle beside her. She was wearing a white blouse and white sari with floral ornaments.

In her Hindu mythology, Shakuntala is the daughter of Meneka and Rishi Vishwamitra. She lives in the forest with her teacher, Rishi Kanva. She met King Duhyant in the forest, fell in love with him, and the two got married. After giving birth to her child (who would later become King Bharat), Dushyant left her in the forest, promising to return to pick her up soon. However, due to the curse of the saint, Dushyant forgot everything about Shakuntala until fate brought them back together.

Speaking of the film, Samantha told Filmfare last year, “I’ve always liked to choose films that are completely different from my previous work. Shakuntalam is the polar opposite, from the other end of the Raj spectrum. Every shot is perfect, Every picture is a painting. I have to look as beautiful as I’ve ever seen! So the pressure is there. It’s fascinating. I’ve always been obsessed with mythology and historical dramas and this princess world. I really love that I’m in Shaakuntalam’s dream character. I’ve been a Disney fan all my life and Shaakuntalam is everything I could ask for. In some shots I can’t believe it’s me…actually in many shots I can’t believe it’s me! The team Great job on the production design, costumes, lighting and makeup. I just had to show up.”

Shakuntalam is directed by Gunasekhar and produced by Neelima Guna. Gunasekhar is best known for his epic historical drama Rudhramadevi starring Anushka Shetty. Shakuntalam is published in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.

Samantha recently starred in the Telugu movie Pushpa, where she danced to the popular song Oa Antava. Last year, Samantha played a Sri Lankan Tamil rebel in season 2 of the hit web series Family Portrait. She played a character called Raj and her performance was well received.

She is still waiting for the release of the Tamil romantic comedy Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal. The film is directed by Vignesh Shivn and stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara.
