Samantha’s highly anticipated film Shaakuntalam has garnered accolades at the New York International Awards. The mesmerizing cinematic experience earned the film recognition on the global stage. The talented actress expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the jury on her social media handle.
Taking to her social media stories, Samantha shared a picture of awards and wrote, “#Shaakuntalam bagged awards at the acclaimed New York International Film Awards, thanks to the jury!” To note, Shaakuntalam did not live up to its expectations and failed to make a mark at the box office.

According to a report in Great Andhra.com, Shaakuntalam producer Dil Raju is said to have lost Rs 22 crores due to the film’s failure at the box office.
