Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently gearing up for the release of her film Maa Inti Bangaaram, which is set to hit theatres on June 19. The actor recently hosted an AMA session on Instagram, during which she revealed that the film, directed by Nandini Reddy, was initially offered to Sai Pallavi.
Sai Pallavi was the first choice for Maa Inti Bangaaram
Sharing a video explaining how she became a part of the project, Samantha said, "I didn't choose this movie, but this movie chose me. The idea behind Tralala is to focus on female-led content, so the initial idea for this film was to pitch it to Sai Pallavi garu. I knew she was very busy and didn't have the time. Then the makers tweaked the film for me, and hopefully Maa Inti Bangaaram works."
