We last saw Samantha in Nithiin starrer 'A...Aa'. Post that she got busy with her boyfriend Naga Chaitanya. Though she was away from films for a while, the actress was on the lookout for new projects. Also her wedding with Naga Chaitanya will happen only during the summer of 2017. 

She recently signed a Telugu movie titled 'Mahanati', a biopic of Savitri. In which she is playing a key role, not the title role. As she enjoyed her number one position all these years, Samantha is now looking for different kind of movies and roles. 

She has sent message that she is ready to slash her remuneration if the role is exciting. The 29-year-old star is planning to charge less than Rs 1 crore for projects that interests her.
