Whenever a big film is in the works, rumours quickly start swirling that Samantha will be cast as the heroine; only for her name to disappear from the project later.
Recently, there was heavy buzz that Samantha would be part of the Allu Arjun–Atlee film. However, it was later confirmed that she had no connection to the project.
Now, two more big films are being linked to her, though neither is confirmed - just speculation for now.
One is Buchi Babu’s big-budget film starring Ram Charan, with Janhvi Kapoor playing the lead heroine. Rumour has it that the makers are considering a special song featuring Charan and Samantha.
Given how iconic the “Jigelu Rani” song from Rangasthalam became, fans are already demanding that this track be just as big, showing how far the gossip has spread.
The second project is Kaithi 2, which Lokesh Kanagaraj plans to start right after the release of Coolie. Speculation is that Samantha might be cast opposite Karthi as the female lead in this sequel.
Samantha has already been staying away from big-star, big-budget films for some time. If she appears in even one of these two projects, it will be a celebration for her fans.
