Samantha is an actress with many fans. The star has managed to capture the attention of the audience in Malayalam and other languages. Samantha came to cinema without any tradition of cinema. Out of her desire to become an actress, she auditioned for many films. But the actress had to face neglect everywhere. Still, Samantha was not ready to give up. In the beginning, Samantha tried for opportunities not only in Tamil and Telugu but also in Malayalam films. It is because of Samantha’s mother. Samantha’s mother is a Malayali. Samantha accompanied her mother to audition for Dileep’s upcoming film Crazy Gopalan, which was looking for fresh female leads. Samantha shocked the cast by giving a magnificent performance. But Samantha was not selected as the heroine.
The crew was looking for a slightly taller and bolder heroine. So finally Telugu actress Sunitha Verma was brought in as the heroine of the film. Years later, Dileep still remembers the tearful girl outside the audition that day. That is today’s Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This is what Dileep told the star that day. Dileep told the girl, don’t cry, even if today is postponed, tomorrow there will be a time when Indian cinema will follow. It was moldy. The girl has found her niche in Indian cinema. She is Lord Samantha Ruth! ‘Don’t worry, it might be because you can’t be this character today. It is cinema, if we are caught and changed today, then there will be a time when Indian cinema itself will come behind us’, said Dileep at that time.
On the other hand, Samantha was asked about this by journalists when she came to Kerala years later for the promotion of the movie Shakunthalam. Samantha, whose mother is a Malayalee, Bandhan, who told everything about Malayalam actors and their acting, does not remember this very clearly. Because he participated in many auditions in the beginning and was rejected from many places and came down crying. The actress replied that this could also be one of them.
