After the success of The Family Man 2, reports claimed that Samantha Akkineni has been roped in for a Netflix show. However, a source close to the actress has revealed that she will not be returning to OTT shows anytime
After
the
success
of
The
Family
Man
2,
reports
claimed
that
Samantha
Akkineni
has
been
roped
in
for
a
Netflix
show.
However,
a
source
close
to
the
actress
has
revealed
that
she
will
not
be
returning
to
OTT
shows
anytime
soon.
For
the
unversed,
Samantha
garnered
a
lot
of
praise
for
her
performance
as
the
antagonist
in
the
Amazon
Prime
Original
series.
According
to
Telugu
Asianet
News,
Samantha
has
been
approached
by
Netflix
for
a
new
OTT
web
series.
The
report
also
claimed
that
she
has
been
offered
a
whopping
Rs
8
crore
by
the
streaming
giant
for
a
leading
role
in
the
trilingual
web
series.
While
Netflix
is
yet
to
confirm
any
such
project,
a
Bollywood
Hungama
report
has
claimed
that
the
actress
currently
has
her
hands
full
with
two
Tamil
features.
Samantha
will
be
seen
in
Kaathuvaakula
Rendu
Kaadhal
co-starring
with
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
Shaakuntalam,
where
she
plays
the
mythological
Shakuntala.
A
source
very
close
to
the
actress
told
the
portal,
"Right
now
she
is
off
the
media
and
just
chilling
at
home
with
her
husband
Nag
Chaitanya
and
his
family.
There
are
no
plans
of
doing
another
web
series
anytime
in
the
near
future.
Sam
agreed
to
doing
The
Family
Man
because
of
co-directors
Raj
Nidimoru
and
DK's
persuasive
powers
and
because
she
had
wanted
to
play
the
bad
girl
for
the
longest."
As
for
another
web
series
project,
the
source
added,
"Not
for
a
while,
and
then
only
if
it's
something
as
challenging
as
The
Family
Man."
Meanwhile,
The
Family
Man
streaming
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
follows
a
spy
agent,
Srikant
Tiwari
who
struggles
between
the
life
of
a
middle
class
family
man
and
a
secret
spy.
The
show
also
stars
Manoj
Bajpayee,
Priyamani,
Sharad
Kelkar,
Sharib
Hashmi,
Ashlesha
Thakur,
Shreya
Dhanwanthary
and
others.
