The actress is acclaimed by critics for ‘outperforming’ her professional rivals
Hyderabad: Undeniably, pretty actress Samantha has scored big in terms of her performance as well as box-office collections with “A Aa” to dwarf her arch rivals like Kaajal, Tammanah, Shruti Haasan, Rashi Khanna.
Interestingly, although Samantha has done some glam-centric roles, but whenever, she essayed an author-backed role in films like “Ye Maaye Chesave” and “Eega,” she proved her acting prowess and won critical acclaim. After non-descript portrayal in “Brahmotsavam,” petite actress bounces back with a scintillating performance in “A aa” to go a few notches up over her rivals.
“It was Samantha’s show all the way in A Aa as she carried the film on her slender shoulders with ease,” said award-winning filmmaker Sunil Kumar Reddy. He describes the role as realistic and adorable. “Her girl-next-door role was closer to reality and it struck a chord with youth, masses and family viewers alike.
In fact, in real-life a youngster would love to take such a bubbly girl home to introduce to his mother, that’s kind of impact it made. Surely, Samantha is one of the natural actresses in T-town and proved her mettle in films like Ye Maaya Chesave” added Reddy However, director Manjunath blames it on some directors who rely on physical attributes than on the acting skills of Gen Y actresses.
“Besides Samantha, even Kaajal proved her acting prowess in films like “Darling” and “Mr Perfect”. Similarly, Tammanah showcased her histrionic skills in 100% Love and Shruti displayed traces of her acting chops in films like 7thSense and Swathi was also popular for her performances, so we can’t blame actresses for doing more glam-centric roles.
Because some directors prefer to confine them to four songs and four scenes formula, which is unfortunate. Yesteryear top directors etched powerful roles for actresses like Savitri, Saroja Devi and Vanisree even in their star-studded movies, so young directors should take a cue from them and pay attention to heroine roles in their movies.” he concludes.
