Shaakuntalam, director Gunasekhar’s much-awaited mythological epic featuring Samantha in the titular role, has been released worldwide theaters yesterday. Samantha and the whole unit of the film were very confident about the success of the film. However, Shaakuntalam has disappointed everyone, and now it is on track to become one of the biggest disasters at the Box Office.
The producers have told that the movie’s budget is around 80 Crores. Now the movie has opened with a disastrous number of around 1.5 Crores share in the Telugu states and worldwide it will be around 2 Crores. And today the movie has completely crashed at the box office, and it looks like the theaters getting rents itself is an achievement. The movie is heading towards becoming one of the biggest disasters ever in Telugu Cinema.
Made on a massive budget, Shaakuntalam is based on the internationally acclaimed Kalidasa’s Sanskrit play ‘Abhijnana Shaakuntalam’ and it has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. The film, which has also released in 3D, is presented by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations together with Gunaa Team works and produced by Neelima Guna.
Gunasekhar directed Samantha’s Shaakuntalam. Dev Mohan played King Dushyant’s role in this flick, while Allu Arjun’s daughter Allu Arha appeared as Prince Bharata. Aditi Balan, Prakash Raj, Gauthami, Madhu Bala, Sachin Khedekar, Mohan Babu and Ananya Nagalla appeared in crucial roles. Mani Sharma composed the tunes for this film.
