Shaakuntalam Movie Trailer

The trailer of Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s upcoming Telugu mythological drama Shaakuntalam was released on Monday in a grand event in Hyderabad. Going by the visuals of the trailer, the film features Samantha in her most ethereal self in what looks like an epic retelling of a chapter from the Mahabharata.

The trailer opens with the shot of a massive kingdom and the voiceover introduces us to an abandoned baby – born to Menaka and Viswamithra. The trailer goes on to introduce the baby as Shaakuntala, who was born with a purpose. Cut to the next shot, we are introduced to king Dushyant and he meets Shaakuntala for the first time in a forest. It’s love at first sight and as the camera pans to Samantha, she looks absolutely ethereal. She’s covered in butterflies when Dushyant sees her for the first time.
