Did Sam give the nod for ‘Savithri’ biopic?

The casting merry-go-round for ‘Savithri’ seems to be on for a while now. While some said Nithya Menen might be a part of the biopic, gossip mills have been abuzz that Samantha is in contention to play the coveted role. Wait! Both might part of the venture.

I have been scouting for a heroine for a long time, but have not finalised anyone as yet. Although I have in mind in a few actresses who I thought could be on board, I guess it is premature to talk right now. All I can say that the film will be a multi-starrer.

I am still working on the modalities and the production house will announce all the details,” says that the reclusive, yet opinionated filmmaker.

Going by Sam’s recent revelation that she’s super excited about her next project in Telugu, we assume it would be this project. However, for the time being the suspense over the leading lady in ‘Savithri’ continues.
