Madhoo says dull box office performance of Samantha’s Shakuntalam ‘hurts’

Veteran actress Madhoo Shah, who essayed the role of Apsara Menaka in Samantha Ruth Prabhu led Shaakuntalam, has spoken on the lackluster performance of the much-anticipated saga.

While promoting her upcoming series Fireflies: Parth Aur Jugnu, Madhoo states that Shakuntalam’s weak box office reception is heartbreaking.

Madhoo informs further that the makers were dedicated and honest towards the project.

“I feel very sad that Shakuntalam has underperformed because the makers and producers gave it all. From the pre-production to release, unhone kahi bhi us picture ko dheela nahi chhoda. After shooting and dubbing, they spent an entire year on CGI. They never took the process for granted and made sure to make it a visual treat. While shooting, I saw they never gave any stress to artists or technicians. They took care of our comfort as well.”
