Samantha is reportedly in discussions to star alongside Tamil superstar Simbu in an upcoming film directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vetrimaaran. If the talks are successful, this would mark Samantha’s return to Tamil cinema after a long break. The official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.
The film, titled Arasan, is set to be produced under the Chennai Universe banner by well-known producer Kalaipuli Thanu. Music for the movie will be composed by popular South music sensation Anirudh Ravichander. As both Simbu and Vetrimaaran are highly talented, expectations for the project are already high.
Samantha has been away from films for some time due to her battle with myositis, a condition that kept her away from work. Unlike earlier in her career, she is now being selective about her projects. The news of her potential collaboration with Simbu has thrilled fans, who are excited to see her return to Tamil cinema.
The makers have previously announced that the Chennai Universe banner will include several films, and Arasan is expected to be a major addition. While discussions with Samantha are still in the early stages, insiders suggest that the team is keen to cast her as the lead actress opposite Simbu.
This movie will be the 49th film in Simbu’s career and is anticipated to showcase both his acting skills and Vetrimaaran’s directorial expertise. Fans of both actors are already looking forward to the combination, hoping it will deliver an engaging cinematic experience.
Samantha’s comeback to Tamil cinema, especially under the direction of a celebrated filmmaker like Vetrimaaran, is being viewed as a significant move in her career. Her careful approach to selecting roles indicates that she is focusing on meaningful projects rather than quantity.
Official updates on Samantha’s involvement are expected soon, and the film’s team is likely to release further details about the cast, crew, and shooting schedule in the coming weeks.
