Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, after attaining a pan-Indian image with her role in The Familyman 2, has decided to take a well-deserved short break from her hectic schedule. She recently made headlines by returning advance payments to producers and hiking her fee to Rs 10 crores for new film projects, a significant jump from her previous fee of Rs 5 crores for films like Kushi and Citadel.
Samantha intends to use her six-month break from acting to reenergize herself after a taxing year of nonstop filming. For the industry, this break might mean a loss of between Rs 15 and 20 crores, and when you factor in the products she supports, the cost rises to about Rs 30 crores annually.
Despite not taking up new acting projects, Samantha will continue to fulfill her commitments by promoting her upcoming film Kushi and the Citadel web series. However, she remains excited about the future, as 2024 holds promising opportunities with some major projects lined up in her kitty. Official announcements regarding these ventures will be made post her break.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu intends to take advantage of her time off by flying to the USA for a much-needed change of scenery. Sam Fans are eagerly awaiting her comeback and want to see her skills shine on the big screen once more.
