Samantha Ruth Prabhu also heaped praise on Shaakuntalam director Gunsasekhar. She said, “In Indian literature history, the story of Shakuntala is one of the most memorable ones. I feel so lucky that Gunasekhar sir chose me for this character. It is truly my privilege.”

The actor added, “Recently, I watched the movie, and it exceeded my expectations and what Gunasekhar garu had promised. After watching the movie, I fell at Gunasekhar garu’s feet. Everyone will likely experience the same emotions I did while watching the film.”

Talking about the movie, Gunasekhar said, “This is the costliest film in recent times for a heroine-oriented film. Believing in superstar Samantha and me, producer Dil Raju garu backed this big project.”
