Samantha signs on the sequel of the Raju Gari Gadhi 2 that
also stars father-in-law Nagarjuna.
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, last seen in Nithiin-starrer
“AaAaa”, has landed a pivotal role in forthcoming Telugu horror-comedy “Raju
Gari Gadhi 2”, which also stars her soon-to-be father-in-law and actor Akkineni
Nagarjuna.
The movie is the sequel to 2015 Telugu sleeper hit “Raju
Garu Gadhi”. “It’s the first project she has signed since her engagement
earlier this week. She plays a very pivotal role and she’s very excited to be
sharing screen space with her future father-in-law Nagarjuna. She will join the
sets very soon,” a source close to the actress said.
Different to reports, offers haven’t dried up for her since
she made her engagement pronouncement.
“She has been signing films. In fact, she’s even more
interested to work now as her beau Naga Chaitanya and his family is perfectly
alright with her decision to continue acting. She’s definitely not in the mood
to stop acting,” the source told.
Fascinatingly, it will be Samantha’s first horror outing.
Being directed by Ohmkar, the movie also stars Seerat Kapoor, Vennela Kishore
and Shakalaka Shankar. The source also clarified that actress Trisha is not
part of the project.
“She was among the few names that were being speculated. The
truth is she was not even considered in the first place. The makers were on the
lookout for a leading heroine and they finalised Samantha for the same,” he told.
The movie is being jointly produced by PVP Cinema and Matinee Entertainments.
