Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the beloved actress of the Telugu, Tamil, and Bollywood film industries, has left her fans in disbelief. Recent media reports suggest that she is embarking on a one-year hiatus from acting due to health concerns. The actress is currently battling an auto-immune disease called Myositis, which she revealed to the public in October 2022.
The news of Samantha’s acting break has surprised her fans, as she has reportedly decided not to sign any new projects in Telugu, Tamil, or Bollywood after completing her commitments for ‘Citadel India’ and ‘Kushi.’ Furthermore, she has returned the advance payments to producers for projects she had signed. This decision might result in the actress incurring a significant financial loss during this period.
Sources suggest that Samantha’s usual remuneration for a film ranges between Rs 3.5 to Rs 4 crore. Considering that she recently signed three projects before deciding to take a break, the potential loss in earnings could amount to anywhere between Rs 10 to Rs 12 crore.
The actress seems to have hinted at her break in a recent social media post announcing the wrap of ‘Citadel India.’ In her post, Samantha expressed gratitude to the team and shared her excitement for what lies ahead. She wrote: “A break doesn’t seem like a bad thing when you know what’s coming @rajanddk @mensit. The family I didn’t know I needed. Thank you for helping me fight every battle and never giving up on me… I wish more than anything in the world to make you proud… Thank you for the role of a lifetime… i.e., until you write me the next.”
While Samantha’s fans eagerly await the release of ‘Kushi,’ which is scheduled for September, there is no official announcement regarding the release date of ‘Citadel India.’ In ‘Kushi,’ Samantha shares the screen with Vijay Deverakonda, and in the Raj and DK series, she pairs up with Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan.
As Samantha Ruth Prabhu takes a much-needed break to focus on her health and well-being, her fans continue to shower her with love and support, eagerly awaiting her return to the silver screen.
