‘Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu’ was produced simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil, with Jeeva playing the lead role in the Tamil version. Samantha starred in both language versions, showcasing her versatility as an actress. Gautham Menon initially planned to adapt the film into Hindi with Aditya Roy Kapur and Samantha, but production challenges halted the project midway.

Following her role in last year's successful film ‘Kushi,’ Samantha took a brief hiatus before resuming her film career. On her birthday, she announced her upcoming family action drama ‘Maa Inti Bangaram,’ her first project under her newly established production house, Tralala Movie Pictures. The film's poster, featuring Samantha with a gun and a tattoo, has generated significant buzz among fans.

Samantha is also making waves in the digital realm. The highly anticipated Bollywood action web series ‘The Citadel,’ featuring Samantha in a leading role, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime. Additionally, rumours suggest that Samantha may soon collaborate on a horror thriller web series for Netflix with the director of ‘Tumbad.’
