The film’s trailer was released in January. Speaking at the event, an emotional Samantha said her love for cinema hasn’t changed amid all the recent life struggles. She said she gathered all her courage to attend the event.

In her speech, Samantha talked about her rare auto-immune disease called Myositis which she has been diagnosed with since last November. “No matter how many struggles I face in life, one thing won’t change. That’s how much I love cinema and cinema loves me back. I strongly believe that this love will grow manifold with Shaakuntalam,” she said.

Samantha was last seen on screen in Telugu action-thriller Yashoda. In the film, Samantha played a surrogate mother who won’t stop at anything to protect her child. The film turned out to be a hit at the box-office and has grossed around 33 crore from 10 days since its release globally.

She will be seen sharing screen space with actor Varun Dhawan in the show, which is being co-created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.

Samantha also has Telugu romantic drama Kushi, co-starring Vijay Deverakonda, in her kitty. She had said on Wednesday that she will resume shooting for the movie soon.
