She lives in a forest where she meets King Dushyant and they fall in love. Dushyant promises to return to her soon but forgets all about her due to a sage's curse. Earlier, talking about Shaakuntalam, Samantha had said, "I have never heard of such a script with so much detail. There is no reference to the film. Everything about the film is in the director’s head. So, I am extremely excited to be part of this project and want to make the director’s vision come true." And now, judging by the first look of the film, each word she said about director's vision seems to be true. Written and directed by Gunasekhar, the movie also stars Dev Mohan and Allu Arjun's daughter Allu Arha. Neelima Guna is producing the film while Dil Raju is the presenter. Mani Sharma is providing the music, and Sekhar V Joseph is the cinematographer for this project. Shaakuntalam will release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
