Fans were left heartbroken when Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, in a joint statement, announced that they are ending their marriage in October last year. The estranged couple got married in 2017. In a statement, the celebs had written, “We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us.”
As per the latest reports, the former couple is not interested in sharing screen space with each other. Previously, it was reported that Samantha, who has worked with filmmaker Nandini Reddy in films Jabardasth (2013) and Oh! Baby (2019), is set to team up with the director for another project, and Chay was roped in to play the male lead in the movie. However, their separation has put Nandini in a tough spot.
According to Tollywood.net, Chay is still a part of the project but Nandini is looking for Samantha’s replacement. As per the report, the couple is ‘not ready to act together in a movie.’
A source told the publication, “Nandini Reddy has decided to stick with Naga Chaitanya and she is now in search of an actress who can replace Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the film.” The trio is yet to react to the news.
Meanwhile, Samantha has a few interesting projects coming up. The diva was last seen in the song Oo Antava from Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise. Her bold avatar in the song was loved by one and all. The actress will be soon sharing screen space with Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal. Chay, on the other hand, will be soon making his Hindi film debut with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha.
