Are
you
a
fan
of
the
much-loved
Samantha
Akkineni?
If
yes,
then
we
have
some
big
news
for
you.
According
to
a
leading
daily,
the
talented
actress
was
offered
the
lead
role
in
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
Kannada
hit
'U
Turn',
however,
she
refused
to
take
it
up,
leaving
everyone
in
a
state
of
shock.
The
'Akkineni
Bahu'
had
starred
in
the
film's
Tamil
and
Telugu
remakes
and
impressed
movie
buffs
with
her
rocking
act.
Many
feel,
she
said
'no'
to
the
Bollywood
version
as
she
did
not
want
to
reprise
the
role
again.
The
buzz
is,
the
makers
are
now
planning
to
approach
Taapsee
Pannu
for
the
ambitious
remake.
The
Anando
Brahma
actress,
who
became
a
pan-India
star
post
the
Hindi
film
Pink,
is
regarded
as
a
powerhouse
performer
and
this
makes
her
a
good
choice.
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
U
Turn
was
a
mystery
thriller
that
featured
Jersey
fame
Shraddha
Srinath
in
the
role
of
a
reporter/intern,
who
investigates
a
series
of
'accidents'.
Actors
Dileep
Raj
and
Radhika
Chetan
too
were
a
part
of
the
cast.
Coming
back
to
Samantha,
she
recently
grabbed
a
great
deal
of
attention
when
she
refused
to
'celebrate'
the
encounter
of
those
accused
in
the
Disha
rape
case.
"It
is
wrong
to
say
that
there
is
happiness
in
the
encounter
but
I
also
believe
that
currently
fear
is
the
only
solution.
There
are
about
3
crore
pending
cases
in
our
courts
and
when
the
time
is
for
justice
then
it
will
going
to
take
so
long.
I
hope
that
this
is
a
wakeup
call
to
fix
our
judiciary
system
and
law," she
had
said.
On
the
professional
side
of
things,
she
is
currently
working
on
the
Amazon
Prime
original
'The
Family
Man
Season
2',
featuring
Bollywood
actor
Manoj
Bajpayee
in
the
lead.
She
also
has
the
Telugu
remake
of
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
Trisha's
Tamil
hit
96
in
her
kitty.
