Samantha’s upcoming mythological film ‘Shaakuntalam’ was slated to release on November 4. However, the release date has been pushed by the makers and the film is planned to get bigger as it will be released in 3D.
The team will complete the 3D version of the film and will soon announce the new release date. The makers took to Twitter and released an official statement that read, “We aim to give a bigger experience with Shaakuntalam and immerse you in the World of Shaakuntalam, for which we as a team felt 3D would be a brilliant way. To facilitate this, we would be taking some time to put forth and so, will be unable to meet the earlier announced date of release. We thank the support and love showered upon us, from around the world, hoping for your support in this too! We will be announcing a new release date soon.”
Shaakuntalam is a mythological epic love story based on the play Abhijnanashakuntalam written by great poet Kalidasa. The film will see actor Samantha as princess Shakuntala and Dev Mohan as Dushyanta, the king of Puru Dynasty.
Mohan Babu, Gautami Tadimalla, Aditi Balan, and Ananya Nagalla will also play lead roles in the flick. Allu Arjun’s daughter, Allu Arha will also be making her Tollywood debut as prince Bharata in Shaakuntalam.
