Samantha, one of the most popular actresses in the South Indian film industry. Has been making headlines for her recent movies, especially for the tactics she has been using to create buzz around them. One such tactic is using her personal struggles and disease to gain sympathy from the audience.
The actress had previously used the sympathy card for the openings of her movie, Yashoda. The actress shared her personal struggles with depression and anxiety and how she overcame them to inspire others. This move created a buzz around the movie, and it garnered a good opening. However, it seems like this tactic hasn’t worked for her latest movie, Shaakunthalam.
The actress had been promoting Shaakunthalam by letting everyone know about her disease and the struggles she had faced while filming the movie. She shared her personal journey and how she had overcome the challenges to portray her character. However, despite her efforts, the movie has been receiving negative reviews all over.
It is important to note that audiences watch movies for their entertainment value and not out of sympathy. While it is commendable that Samantha has been open about her struggles, it is not a guarantee that it will translate into the success of the movie. The audience will watch a movie if it is good and not just because the actor has shared their personal struggles.
