Samanta gets into Savitri’s role
Young director Nag Ashwin is directing a movie based on evergreen actress Savitri’s life. As soon as Savitri movie was announced, there was a huge buzz around the project.The biggest question which arose in everyone’s mind, immediately after announcing Savitri movie was, who will play the role of Savitri. Now Savitri movie makers have put an end to this suspense. Tollywood’s top heroine Samantha will play the role of Savitri in this movie.Samanta has been going slow on signing movies, after her proposed marriage with Naga Chaitanya got fixed. She has been busy attending functions and parties with Naga Chaitanya rather than with her acting assignments. She has also been acting very choosy after her marriage with Chay is almost fixed. Savitri movie announcement got huge applause even though it has been a long time since this evergreen actress breathed her last. Such is the respect and love Savitri commands from Telugu people.Though Samantha is being choosy and even not shying away to say no to some projects, she is said to have immediately lapped up the role of Savitri when offered.
Keerthy Suresh almost confirmed for Savitri biopic
Savitri, an actress par excellence from the golden age of South Indian Cinema, mainly Telugu and Tamil, saw enormous love from audience for being a great beauty and best actress. Her roles in films like Mayabazaar, Missamma, Ardhangi, Donga Ramudu, Devadasu, Aradhana, Sumangali, Velugu Needalu, Devatha and many more. She was complimented the most by Akkineni Nageswara Rao saying that she improved a lot from Devadasu days to a stage where acting with her became a competition and if they were not on their money, she would easily grab the attention. About her, Sobhan Babu too shared an experience saying that while doing a scene with her, they had an exchange in the scene.He was waiting for her to complete her line to react but she took a pause and he thought if she forgot the lines but actually she gave an expression during the pause. Watching the scene on screen he was mesmerized it seems. Many many such testimonies about her talent has she acted in mote than 200 films in both Telugu and Tamil, 110 in Telugu and 92 in Tamil.
