Speaking to the media at the event, Samantha said she plans to step away from acting temporarily.

“After ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’, I will have to take a small break, given my condition. I will be on maternity leave. After that, I will be back with another film for my fans,” she said.

 

Rumours about her pregnancy had been circulating online for several days, particularly after videos from the film’s success celebrations went viral, with some fans speculating about a baby bump.

Samantha married Raj in an intimate ceremony on 1 December 2025 at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The couple had previously worked together on the popular web series ‘The Family Man 2’ and later collaborated again on ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’.

The film is directed by Nandini Reddy and marks her reunion with Samantha after their 2019 hit ‘Oh! Baby’. The screenplay has been written by Raj Nidimoru and Vasanth Maringanti.

‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’ also features Gulshan Devaiah, Diganth Manchale, Gautami Tadimalla, Sreemukhi, Manjusha, and Srinivas Gavireddy in key roles.
