Samantha Akkineni brought some magic with her during the debut Em Maya Chesaave.The success of this Nagachaitanya starrer made Samantha a new favorite for the filmmakers and she was immediately given a chance to act with NTR in Brindavanam.
And then it was a chance to dance alongside Superstar Mahesh Babu.Dookudu became a record-breaking blockbuster making Samantha the obvious choice for star actors.
You would even say, the film changed her status.But Samantha will not do a film like Dookudu anymore.Why?!–nextpage–>
Things change with time.Back then, Samantha had to cement her place in the industry no matter how.Samantha was not an integral part of Dookudu.She had a funny romantic trank with Mahesh Babu and had a couple of songs to dance.
In other words, her character had no importance in the story.
Today, Samantha isn’t just a glamour doll.She is not a starlet.She need not dance alongside star heroes.
She is not dependent on star heroes either.Moreover, she is not in dire need of a blockbuster.She can now satisfy the actress in her.
“I will not do films like Dookudu from now.I want to do only content-driven films with importance to my character.I wouldn’t have done a character like Amrutha (Raju Gari Gadhi 2) during my initial days.
Now, I will not do a Dookudu again” says Samantha at the press event of Raju Gari Gadhi 2.
