Samantha's two producers announced two projects with only her name in it and no other cast detail, The director name is the only mention apart from her. This kind of announcement is usually done for Male STAR. Take the case of any STAR project announcement- It is either Vijay 66 or take the recent announcements of Ram Charan. It called RC 16 a Gowtam Tinnanuri directorial and RC17, a Prashanth Neel directorial. No other details come forth till the actual start, Dream Warrior Pictures announced that they are collaborating with Sam for a bilingual that will be directed by debutante Shantharuban.Sridevi Movie announced their collaboration with Sam to be directed by debutant duo Hari and Harish.
Male dominated industry in Tamil- Telegu are peeved that the producers saw it fit to give the same privilege's given to a Male her. The announcement posters also make it obvious that except for her , all others do not matter. The trade is quite amused as there is no film that has run on strength of Samantha. Shakunthalam is the only woman centric film that features her is going to release.
Both the films are Tamil- Telegu bilingual. It is directed by new comers. Trade feels that the ` arrogance' of Samantha to adapt an announcement style reserved for heroes and the producers accepting it is from the root cause that OTT platforms will buy her films as she has a pan Indian draw after The Family Man 2. This sure revenue makes the producer safe.
Tamil has Nayanthara as Lady Superstar and Samantha will be an addition, Tollywood after Vijayshanthi had no Lady Superstar and Samantha could easily fill the vacuum.
