The pretty
samantha, began her career in
tamil, with Cinematographer Ravivarman's debut Directorial Moscowin
Cauvery, opposite
rahul Ravindran, which went on to be a disaster and followed it with yet another failure, Baana Kaathadi opposite Atharva Murali.
However, though
kollywood gave her a cold response,
tollywood welcomed her happily, and with the super successful Ye
maaya chesave by
gautham Vasudev Menon, opposite her
love Nag Chaitanya, she got the recognition she deserved, besides numerous hits that followed later like
eega, Dookudu, Brindavanam, Atharintiki Dhaaredhi, Manam to name a few.
Little do
people know that
samantha was actually supposed to make her
bollywood Debut too, way back in 2013 itself, as her mentor
gautham menon had made a Trilingual in Tamil/Telugu/Hindi, with
sam playing the lead in all 3 Versions. While the
telugu and
tamil versions -
yeto vellipoyindhi manasu and Neethaane En Ponvasantham with
nani and Jiiva respectively, got released to lukewarm response, the
hindi version Assi Nabbe Poore Sau opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor was shot and was left unreleased for unknown reasons, thus stopping Samantha's Bolly entry.
