Raj confirms Maa Inti Bangaaram sequel

During an event in Vizag, Raj asked fans if they wanted a sequel to Samantha's film. As the crowd erupted in joy, he shared, "Maa Inti Bangaaram Part 2 is coming in two years with the same team. I already have an idea in my mind. The same team will work on it. For the first time, I am inspired to make another part. It will have double the fun and double the excitement. I will come back and tell you more about it later."

Calling the film special, Raj said, "We did so much in Hindi. The Family Man and Stree came and became blockbusters, but I got greater appreciation for Maa Inti Bangaaram than I did for them. So it is very special."

Nandini Reddy on Samantha's pregnancy

Speaking to iDream Media's YouTube channel, director B.V. Nandini Reddy was asked how she reacted to learning that Samantha was pregnant. She shared, "I actually found out when we were shooting the Thassadiya song. It was almost towards the end of the shoot. They first told me that she wasn't feeling well in the morning. We thought she must have a fever. The next day, I asked her if her fever had come down. At first, she didn't say anything. A minute later, she said, 'Actually, I'm carrying and suffering from morning sickness.' It was during the early part of pregnancy. From there, we took care during the rest of the shoot."
