Has Samantha Ruth Prabhu opted out of her Bollywood projects after myositis diagnosis? Actor’s rep responds

Samantha’s spokesperson Mahendra gave clarity, explaining that Samantha has been explaining the situation to the concerned filmmakers. “Samantha is taking rest at present. She is going to participate in the shooting of the Kushi post-Sankranthi in January. After that, she will continue with her Bollywood project. We had given dates for the Hindi movie from January. But due to the unforeseen circumstances, the shootings of the films may be delayed by about six months. So now she will only be able to participate in the shooting of her Hindi film from April or May. According to the earlier plans, the shoot for Samantha’s Bollywood film will start in January, and the dates were also allocated accordingly.”

He added, “It’s not a good thing to make someone wait for a long time since moviemaking involves so much effort. So we have been giving the clarity (to the makers) from the beginning to proceed according to the planned schedules if it is not possible to wait. Samantha has not walked out of any of the accepted projects officially. So far there is no truth in the news reports about her departure from her upcoming projects.”

On the work front, Samantha’s Shaakunthalam is presently in post-production phase and the release date for the film will be announced soon.
