In this video, Samantha is seen saying that she would like to start the promotions of the Shaakuntalam movie in the temple with the blessings of Goddess. Dev Mohan and Sam looked classy in white attires and they were accompanied by director Gunasekhar and his daughter Neelima Guna. Along with sharing the small video, she also wrote, "The promotions of #Shaakuntalam begins on an auspicious note with the divine blessings of Sri Peddamma Thalli. Exciting times ahead! #ShaakuntalamOnApril14".

Going with earlier released trailer, Shakuntala is introduced as the daughter of Menaka and Vishwamitra and will be raised at Tapovan. The mighty king Dushyant reaches tapovan and accidentally meets her. They immediately fall for each other and then exchange their vows. But due to the curse of Durvasa Maharshi Dushyant forgets his past and leaves Shakuntala in the ashram itself. But as Shakuntala turns pregnant, she reaches King Dushyant's kingdom but he refuses to recognise her and also asks her not to blame him. So, she gives birth to their son Bharata at the ashram itself. Even the glimpses of King Dushyant's war with demons also made the trailer worth watching.
