Popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently busy promoting her upcoming movie Shakuntalam. The movie also stars Allu Arjun’s daughter Allu Arha in a prominent role and while talking about her in a press conference, Samantha revealed that Allu Arjun is not involved in her daughter’s decisions.
Shakuntalam's team reached Mumbai for the release of the 3D trailer and there, when asked if Allu Arjun talked about his daughter’s performance, Samantha Ruth Prabhu said, “For some reason, she is her own person and she decides her own things. I don’t think her father is involved and is going to involve himself in her career because it’s going to kind of take off differently after this movie. It’s something to look forward to definitely. When I say families and children are going to connect with this film, apart from the main leads, there’s a child who has a beautiful role in this film so it’ll be a massive connect there.”
Shakuntalam is an Indian mythological film helmed by Gunasekhar. Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be playing the role of Shankuntala, Dev Mohan will play the role of Dushyanta, and Allu Arjun’s daughter Allu Arha who is going to make her acting debut with the film will be seen playing the role of Prince Bharata.
