Samantha’s intense first look in Maa Inti Bangaaram hints at action-packed return to Telugu cinema
Telugu cinema star Samantha Ruth Prabhu has sparked fresh excitement with the release of the first look poster for her upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaaram, marking her long-awaited return to the big screen. The strikingMaa Inti Bangaaram first look shows Samantha standing inside a bus, dressed in a simple saree and staring ahead with a fierce expression, a look that many fans have already seen in one of her 2025 year-end video photos.
The poster reveal comes as Samantha shared the news of the teaser trailer release, scheduled for 9 January 2026 at 10 am, building anticipation among audiences eager to see more of her performance.
Maa Inti Bangaaram is directed by BV Nandini Reddy, who previously worked with Samantha on the hit Oh! Baby. The film also features Gulshan Devaiah and Diganth in key roles and marks a continuation of Samantha’s expanding creative journey in cinema. Husband and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, whom she married in late 2025, serves as the creative force behind the project.
What has drawn particular attention is Samantha’s commitment to performing her own stunts. Reports confirm she undertook most of the action sequences herself, even while clad in a saree, a challenging combination that adds authenticity and intensity to her character’s portrayal.
Before this project, Samantha earned praise for action-oriented roles in popular web series such as The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Her decision to execute her stunts again in Maa Inti Bangaaram reflects a desire to push her performance limits and bring realism to the screen.
The film is being produced under Samantha’s own banner, Tralala Moving Pictures, in collaboration with Raj Nidimoru and producer Himank Duvurruu. Creators have described Maa Inti Bangaaram as a blend of deep emotional themes and high-impact action, aimed at offering both spectacle and substance.
Fans have reacted with enthusiasm, praising Samantha’s “fearless and fiery” new avatar. Many comments on social media describe the look as a powerful return after her recent hiatus, with admirers calling her “back in full force” and expressing excitement for the film’s teaser and eventual release.
Samantha’s last substantial screen role was a cameo in Subham (2025), and her return as a leading actor-producer signals a significant moment in her career. With a strong poster, an action-driven narrative and a release of the teaser imminent, Maa Inti Bangaaram is shaping up to be one of the most watched Telugu films of early 2026.
