OTT Or Theatrical: What Next For Samantha?
Samantha is one of the biggest names in Telugu cinema and the actress has been actively making films a couple of years back. But in view of the medical condition that she had been suffering from, she had slowed down a bit.
Due to the gap in filming, Samantha is now mostly confined to OTT shows. Her latest outing Citadel: Honey Bunny is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Luckily for Samantha, despite the ordinary reviews for the Amazon show, it could catch the attention of the OTT audience worldwide and gain a fair bit of traction.
Apparently, it has clocked viewership readings in nearly 200 countries which is a big deal.
However, the issue here is that the OTT boom for Samantha will keep her closer only to OTT stuff henceforth and gradually take her away from theatrical films.
In accordance, Samantha doesn’t have any theatrical projects at hand. The chances are that Amazon might approach her with another OTT project in the due course.
Does this essentially mean that the OTT boom for Samantha results in a subsided theatrical interest? Only time will answer this question, it must be said.
