Samantha’s Shaakuntalam, which was made as a mythological epic featuring her in the titular role, was released in worldwide theaters the last month. Samantha and the whole unit of the film were very confident about the success of the film before the release. However, Shaakuntalam failed to impress the audience, and it ended up as an epic disaster at the Box Office. Now the film is getting ready for the OTT steaming.
Shaakuntalam’s streaming rights in all languages have been bought by the OTT giant Amazon Prime and the movie will be available for streaming from 12th May. We have to wait and see how it will be the response to the movie on OTT. The movie had all the required elements to be an engaging romantic drama with a mythological backdrop, but the ineffective narration and zero emotions made the film a bland affair and the audience could not connect to the characters or the film.
Made on a massive budget, Shaakuntalam is based on the internationally acclaimed Kalidasa’s Sanskrit play ‘Abhijnana Shaakuntalam’ and was directed by Guna Sekhar. presented by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations together with Gunaa Team works and produced by Neelima Guna.Dil Raju recently said that the result of Shaakuntalam was the biggest shock in his 25 years of career as a producer.
