Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu
has
established
herself
as
a
popular
name
in
the
South
film
industry
with
her
impressive
body
of
work.
Earlier
this
year,
the
actress
made
her
digital
debut
with
Raj-DK's
web
series
The
Family
Man
2
wherein
she
received
rave
reviews
from
her
performance
as
Raji,
a
Sri
Lankan
Tamil
liberation
fighter
who
is
on
a
suicide
mission.
Unlike
other
leading
ladies
from
the
south
like
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Tamannaah
Bhatia,
Shruti
Haasan,
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
others,
Samantha
has
stayed
away
from
the
Hindi
film
industry
so
far.
When
Samantha
was
asked
the
reason
behind
the
same,
she
had
shared
that
she
is
intimidated
by
the
amazing
talent
in
Bollywood.
However
now
with
the
success
of
The
Family
Man,
the
Mahanati
actress
says
that
she
has
got
confidence
to
spread
her
wings
and
accept
more
challenges
in
other
languages.
Samantha
told
Filmfare
in
an
interview,
"Oh
yes,
I
have
said
it
before
that
initially
I
was
intimidated
because
I
was
just
finding
my
bearing
in
the
South
and
getting
a
grip
on
the
kind
of
films
that
work
here
and
those
that
don't.
Now,
with
all
the
appreciation
for
The
Family
Man,
it
has
given
me
more
confidence
to
spread
my
wings
and
accept
more
challenges,
whatever
the
language
may
be.
So
I'm
definitely
open
to
them
right
now."
Interestingly,
lately
there
have
been
reports
that
the
leading
star
has
already
signed
her
debut
Bollywood
film.
It
is
being
speculated
that
the
details
of
the
film
are
being
kept
under
wraps
and
the
makers
might
make
the
announcement
soon
after
they
complete
the
pre-production
process
and
finalize
the
case.
There
was
even
a
buzz
about
Samantha
hunting
a
house
in
Mumbai
though
previously
she
had
denied
moving
to
the
city.
Meanwhile
earlier
this
year,
the
South
star
hit
headlines
when
she
announced
her
divorce
with
Telugu
actor
Naga
Chaitanya.
