Samantha Ruth Prabhu kickstarts 'Shaakuntalam' promotions

She began the promotions on a spiritual note by visiting the Peddamma Thalli temple in Hyderabad for prayers, accompanied by director Gunasekhar and her co-star Dev Mohan from the movie.

After watching the film in a private screening, Samantha shared a note on her Instagram page on Tuesday. Sam wrote, ''And I finally watched the movie today! Gunasekhar garu.. you have my heart. What a beautiful film! One of our greatest epics brought to life so endearingly! I can’t wait for our family audiences to be swept away by the powerful emotions! And all you kids out there… you’re going to love our magical world! Dil Raju garu and Neelima… thank you for this wonderful journey. #Shaakuntalam will forever be close to me.''
