It is a known fact that Gunasekhar films take longer than usual times for completion. The reason for this could be the VFX works or the massive sets taking time to get erected etc. However, this time around Samantha’s Shaakuntalam has not seen any delay and despite pandemic, the film has been wrapped up in a matter of few months.
The film starring Samantha, Dev Mohan, Aditi Balan, and Mohan Babu in key roles was launched in just March early this year. The film also saw some delays due to pandemic and with Gunasekhar testing Covid positive, it was pushed further.
However, despite such delays, Samantha’s Shaakuntalam has been wrapped up quite fast and this has indeed surprised many industry insiders. The movie is based on the play Shakuntala written by Kalidasa and will be a pan-India release. The titular role is being played by Samantha while Dev Mohan will be playing the role of Dushyant. Mohan Babu will be essaying the character of Dhruva Maharshi.
