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.
