The movie Shaakuntalam, starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, did not do well at the box office and with the audience. However, the film is now all set to release digitally on Amazon Prime Video. The movie is based on Kalidasa's Abhijnana Shakuntalam. It tells an epic love story between Shakuntala and King Dushyant of Mahabharat. The film received negative reviews but Samantha's performance was appreciated by many.
Shaakuntalam was released in theatres a month ago but failed to attract viewers. Now, the movie will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video in various languages from May 11th. It will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. Fans of the actress expressed their excitement for the film's digital release on social media. The announcement was made with a caption, “Get ready to witness an epic and timeless tale of love that transcends all boundaries #ShaakuntalamOnPrime, watch now.”
Apart from Samantha, the movie features Dev Mohan, Allu Arha, Sachin Khedekar, and Kabir Bedi. Dr.M Mohan Babu, Prakash Raj, Madhubala, Gautami, Aditi Balan, Ananya Nagalla, Jisshu Sengupta, and others also have good role in it. This was Samantha's second film after her myositis diagnosis.
Now, audiences can enjoy watching the mythological drama in the comfort of their own homes. The story of Shakuntala and King Dushyant has been an epic tale for generations. This film tries to bring it to life on the big screen. Although it was not well-received in theatres, the digital release on Amazon Prime Video may give the movie a new life and reach a wider audience.
