“It’s truly inspiring to see actresses like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Anushka Shetty, and others diving into action. Many women are now leading major action movies, which is amazing. I’m thrilled to explore this genre myself,” she shared. Samantha also praised Bollywood stars like Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Kiara Advani, and Kangana Ranaut, who have all contributed to the trend. According to her, “It’s incredible to see women taking control.”

Samantha’s entry into Hindi cinema with The Family Man Season 2, directed by Raj & DK, showcased her intense action skills as the main antagonist, even though much of her action sequences were nearly cut from the show. “I’m glad they kept it,” she said, reflecting on the importance of giving women bold, powerful roles on screen.

Known for iconic performances in Ye Maaya Chesave, Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Mahanati, and Super Deluxe, Samantha continues to set new benchmarks, embracing new genres and breaking boundaries. With Citadel on the horizon, Samantha is ready to make her mark in the action arena, adding her unique energy to an inspiring trend led by women.
