Samantha Ruth Prabhu says ‘toughest part’ of Shaakuntalam was maintaining grace and posture: ‘And grace is so not my thing’

Samantha took to Instagram and posted a story, striking a graceful pose and writing how it doesn’t come naturally to her. The actor also quipped that she should have taken her pet Sasha for the grace training sessions as well.

“The toughest part of Shakuntalam was maintaining grace and posture while walking, talking, running and even crying. And grace is sooo not my thing 😂 had to take training sessions for it! Should have taken Sasha along. Clearly so not her thing either. #LikeMotherLikeDaughter,” she wrote.

Shaakuntalam, scheduled to release on February 17, will be the first release of Samantha for 2023. She will also be seen in Kushi, starring Vijay Deverakonda. Samantha is currently gearing up to begin filmmaker Raj & DK’s web series Citadel India.

The Prime Video series will pair her alongside actor Varun Dhawan. There were rumours that the actor had backed out of the project due to her health, a source close to Samantha, however, rubbished the reports. “Anything and everything that is written about her being replaced in Citadel is rubbish. She will begin the shoot in the second half of January,” the source said.

Billed as science fiction, Citadel is an ambitious series which is getting made in multiple languages. The American and Indian versions have already been announced. Created by Patrick Moran and the Russo brothers, the American version stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra.
