Gautham Vasudev Menon is the god father for beautiful actress samanta. This director has the habit of repeating heroines if he likes their performance. Long before Gautham was impressed by Jyothika casting her as heroine in many of his films. Later his crush was Sameera Reddy and now samanta appears to be the lucky girl. She has caught Menon’s attention in a big way. That is the reason why first ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ followed by desperate guest appearance in ‘Erra Gulabeelu.’
Although Sam was later booked by Junior NTR in Brindavanam and Mahesh Babu in Dookudu, now Menon is giving a chance for samanta to act as heroine opposite Jiiva. samanta is said to have signed along the dotted lines even before the script was narrated to her. Such is her blind faith on Gautham!
