The link has an audio clip of the interview - she says she is working on her Hindi accent, says she has some great scripts offered to her, including one that producer Taapsee offered her. She doesn't want to play cliched heroine roles, and says she wants to play challenging roles.
In 2010, in her first film, Ye Maaye Chesave, she is the girl next-door, who falls in love with an unsuitable boy. She is Christian and he is Hindu, mirroring her real-life relationship with Naga Chaitanya. Eleven years later, she was Raji, a fiery Tamil revolutionary in The Family Man Season Two. Her dead eyes telling the stories of the torture and agony she watched in hours of footage as she meticulously prepared for her challenging role.
It has left her on the cusp of a new career, and as she reads new scripts to her, she is brushing up her Hindi. "We, south Indians, learn Hindi in school but then that's it. I've got to get rid of my accent," says Samantha Ruth Prabhu (formerly Akkineni). She will need to do that quickly as the world wakes up to what an exciting actor she is.
Having announced her divorce from Naga Chaitanya — one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars — last week, she is all set for a new career. But she's not moving out of Hyderabad, which houses Tollywood — the money-spinning Telugu film industry.
