Samantha Akkineni Movies – Career

‘Ye Maaya Chesave (2010),’ ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010)’

Samantha began her professional film career with Gautham Menon’s Telugu film, Ye Maaya Chesave (2010). The film, simultaneously made in Tamil as Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010), created much anticipation prior to release, due primarily to the first-time-collaboration between Gautham Menon and composer A. R. Rahman. The actress successfully auditioned and was signed up for the project in mid-August 2009 and worked on the film in India and the United States, while the film was released on 26 February 2010.

Post-release, she revealed that Menon played a “crucial part in molding her as an actress”, teaching her how to remain natural and comfortable in front of the screen, even if she had no dialogues in a scene. In the film, Samantha played the lead character Jessie, a Malayali Saint Thomas Christian girl living in Hyderabad, with whom the male protagonist, played by Naga Chaitanya, falls in love.

Upon the release of the film, Samantha received very positive reviews for her portrayal, with the film itself garnering much critical acclaim. Critics at Sify praised Samantha as a “scene-stealer” and her beauty as “alluring”, adding, “she was the girl to watch out for.” Jeevi from Idlebrain.com, wrote that “Samantha’s debut is one of the best heroine debuts in Telugu cinema” and noted that the “minute expressions she gave spoke volumes about her”, whilst labeling the film as a “classic”.

Ye Maaya Chesave fetched her the Filmfare Award for Best Debut Actress and a Nandi Award. Samantha appeared in a cameo role in the Tamil version of the film, portraying an assistant director who becomes an actress. Both the Telugu and the Tamil versions of the films proved to be grand successes, propelling Samantha to sign on for bigger projects.

She followed up on her collaborations with Gautham Menon and A. R. Rahman by appearing in the music video for the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 promotional song, Semmozhiyaana Tamizh Mozhiyaam, which Menon directed and Rahman composed.

‘Baana Kaathadi’

Samantha’s next release was the romantic drama, +Baana Kaathadi (2010), opposite Adharvaa. The film was actually the third Tamil project signed by the actress, but its release preceded the first two that she was contracted for due to delays in their completion.

Samantha portrayed a student of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), the first such role in Tamil cinema. Her next release was Ravi Varman’s Moscowin Kavery (2010), originally the first film she began work on. The shooting for the film began in August 2007, with Samantha, then briefly credited with the screen name Yasodha, joining the team later in the year.

In an interview held in 2008, Ravi Varman mentioned that he had decided that Samantha would be the lead actress for his film within three minutes after viewing one of her commercial assignments. He went on to describe her as an actress with “intelligence” and “potential”, whilst drawing comparisons with the noted actress, Revathi. However, due to Ravi Varman’s prior commitments as a cinematographer in other projects, the film languished in development hell, eventually releasing in August 2010.

The film earned poor reviews from critics, though Samantha’s performance was credited as one of the sole highlights that the film offered. In August 2008, while still completing her last three projects, Samantha also signed up to play the lead role of a modern girl in the Narainstarrer, Pookada Ravi, which was later shelved.

‘Brindaavanam’

Samantha then went on to feature in Vamsi Paidipally’s Telugu film Brindaavanam (2010) in which she had a supporting role alongside NTR Jr and Kajal Aggarwal. Her performance as Indu was well received despite the role of having a shorter screen time than the ones she had played in her previous films, and the film became her second successful venture in Telugu.

‘Dookudu’

Samantha featured in the big-budget Telugu film, Dookudu (2012) alongside Mahesh Babu, which became one of the most successful Telugu films of all time. The film won positive reviews, while a critic from The Times of India said: “Samantha looks beautiful and has done a great job, though her role as Prashanthi isn’t too lengthy.”

‘Nadunisi Naaygal’

She also subsequently made guest appearances in two of Gautham Menon’s films, first in the psychological thriller film, Nadunisi Naaygal (2011) as a mental asylum inmate and then repeated her role from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa in the Hindi version of the film, Ekk Deewana Tha (2012).

Her popularity in Telugu films meant that Nadunisi Naaygal was dubbed and released in Telugu as Eera Gulabeelu, with Samantha featured prominently on the film’s posters, despite only having a guest appearance.

During the period, Samantha had also been signed on two feature in two big-budget projects in Tamil, Mani Ratnam’s Kadal (2013) and Shankar’s I (2015) but was forced to opt-out from both films, since she was suffering from a skin disease and could not work for two months during mid-2012.

‘Eega’

Samantha next featured in S. S. Rajamouli’s live-action Telugu-Tamil bilingual project Eega (2012), portraying a micro artist who runs an NGO and takes revenge for the murder of her lover. As the film featured a CGI-created housefly as the main character, Samantha noted that she had to use her imagination and act accordingly.

She also revealed that lots of heavy lights were used for the shoot of the film and she subsequently suffered skin burns, calling the process “very stressful” but “satisfying”. Titled Naan Ee (2012) in Tamil, the film opened to highly positive reviews and Samantha also won acclaim for her performance.

‘Neethane En Ponvasantham’

Samantha then worked on Gautham Menon’s trilingual romantic drama film, and played the leading female role of Nithya in the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions of the film, shooting scenes simultaneously back-to-back with three different actors. The Tamil version, Neethane En Ponvasantham (2012) featured her alongside Jiiva, while Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu (2012) paired her opposite, Nani.

A further Hindi version titled Assi Nabbe Poorly Sau with Aditya Roy Kapoor was simultaneously shot with the other two films and was “sixty percent” completed before Menon shelved the venture after his other Hindi film, Ekk Deewana Tha, had failed at the box office.

The film spanned three periods in the life of a couple, focusing on their romantic relationship at school, college, and in their late twenties. Samantha revealed that she knew Gautham would want to work with her again and immediately accepted the opportunity to portray the roles when she was offered the film.

She felt that she “could relate to the attributes and the circumstances the character goes through” and described Nithya’s character as “close to her”. To make her performance as authentic as possible, Samantha chose to dub for herself in the Tamil version of the film.

The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film opened in December 2012, earning differing reactions. Neethane En Ponvasantham earned mixed reviews and performed averagely at the box office, though Samantha received highly positive acclaim for her portrayal.

‘Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’

Although Samantha often portrayed strong character roles in her early films, post-2012, she has appeared increasingly in big-budget, hero-oriented films, which have a comparatively smaller scope for actresses.

Critics lamented that she “signed to be a glam doll” for the ventures and has “previously shown us she is capable of doing much more, but of late, seems to be stuck with doing similar roles that require her to be an attractive prop”. Samantha later revealed that she solely worked on Alludu Seenu as a favor to producer Bellamkonda Suresh, who had helped her delay the making of Jabardasth during her health problems.

’10 Endrathukulla’

Samantha Akkineni then featured in her second dual role as a part of Vijay Milton’s road film, 10 Endrathukulla (2015), where she appeared alongside Vikram.

‘Kaththi,’ ‘Brahmotsavam’

Samantha also featured in three high-profile Telugu films during 2016; while Srikanth Addala’s family drama Brahmotsavam opposite Mahesh Babu was a box office failure, her role in Trivikram Srinivas’s romantic comedy, A Aa alongside Nithiin, won her critical and commercial acclaim.

Portraying Anasuya Ramalingam, a naive girl trying to escape from the controlling behavior of her mother, Samantha received positive reviews for her portrayal of the character.
