Samantha, who was last seen in “Shaakunthalam” is gearing up for the releases of “Khusi” and “Citadel”. However, the actress has made the decision to take a temporary break from her acting career until she fully recovers from her illness. As a demonstration of her commitment to this break, she has returned the advance payments she received from three major production companies.
By returning the money, Samantha has made it clear that she will not be participating in any film projects for a minimum of one year. This means she will experience a significant financial loss during this period, considering her usual remuneration ranging from Rs 3.5 to Rs 4 crore per film. Considering that she recently signed three projects, her potential loss could amount to anywhere between Rs 10 and Rs 12 crore.
Nevertheless, Samantha intends to maintain her connection with fans through promotional posts on Instagram. With an impressive following of 28 million on the platform, she generates substantial income from such promotional activities and brand endorsements. These endeavors will continue to provide her with a steady stream of income during her sabbatical period.
