Amazon Prime or Netflix? Where will Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Shaakunthalam Release?

Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s latest periodic fantasy drama, a traditional love narrative based on playwright Kalidasa’s ‘Abhignana Shaakuntalam,’ titled ‘Shaakuntalam,’ was released on April 14 to positive reviews. The film was produced on a pan-India scale and distributed in five languages nationwide.

Samantha played the titular character in Shaakuntalam, but the film fell short of the expectations of viewers, filmgoers, and supporters of the actress.

Shaakuntalam performed poorly in the pre-release market compared to other films of its genre, especially given the low budget on which it was produced.  Furthermore, the producers took a risk by investing the entire sum in Samantha alone.

Because the film has been performing poorly, it may be on OTT platforms sooner than intended. Shaakuntalam will most likely be accessible for viewing online starting in the second week of May. However, the day and hour have yet to be formally confirmed.
