Did Samantha lose films once offered to her after divorce from Naga Chaitanya? Latest claims spark buzz

Tollywood diva Samantha Ruth Prabhu, once among the busiest names in Tamil and Telugu cinema, has become more selective about her projects. She no longer signs multiple films at once, instead choosing only stories she feels deeply passionate about. Health struggles and a shift in priorities have also contributed to her reduced screen presence. However, the latest shocking claims by a prominent South actress have sparked buzz about whether Samantha lost films, once offered to her, after her divorce from Naga Chaitanya.

LakshmiManchu’sBoldRevelation

During the promotions of Daksha: A Deadly Conspiracy, actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu highlighted gender-based bias in Tollywood. She claimed that a superstar’s ex-wife lost film offers after her divorce, with filmmakers allegedly saying, “Oddu le amma, aina emana antaru emo” (He might feel bad and say something). Though she avoided naming anyone, speculation quickly turned toward Samantha.

ClarificationonSpeculation

When asked if she was talking about Samantha, Lakshmi refused to confirm, saying, “You’re thinking it’s Samantha. There’s not one superstar; around five to six of them have been divorced. But my point is, for men, life hardly changes after separation, while women shoulder societal expectations, in-laws, and responsibilities without freedom unless they take it themselves.”

Samantha’sJourneyPost-divorce

Samantha married Naga Chaitanya in 2017 and divorced in 2021. Shockingly, in 2022, she revealed her battle with the autoimmune disorder myositis. Her last big-screen outings were Shaakuntalam and Kushi (2023), both underwhelming at the box office. After the 2024 Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny, she is reuniting with Raj & DK for Netflix’s Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. However, she has yet to announce her next Telugu film.
