Samantha is back in the news. This time, it is for her upcoming film, Shaakuntalam. The makers unveiled the first-look poster of Shaakuntalam today, February 21. Samantha looks ethereal in a white ensemble adorned with red flowers. She can be seen surrounded by a bunch of deer and a peacock. The mythological drama is directed by Gunasekhar.
