The breakup of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, Tollywood's most adored pair, came as a shock to many. The reason for the famous couple's divorce has been the subject of discussion. While most reports stated it was because of Samantha, new claims began to emerge after a statement slamming false stories. Samantha has reportedly turned a major film for Naga Chaitanya, according to reports.
Samantha was originally approached by filmmaker Atlee for a Shah Rukh Khan-starrer action picture provisionally named Lion, according to sources. She declined, though, since she was expecting a child with Naga Chaitanya. The part was then offered to Nayanthara, who is presently filming for it.
Samantha and Atlee have a special relationship because he cast her as the lead actress in both of his films, Theri and Mersal. Samantha, on the other hand, declined the offer. Samantha and Naga Chaitanya divorced in October 2017 after marrying in October 2017. On October 2, they made a public statement about their divorce.
Meanwhile, Nayanthara is in Mumbai filming Atlee's movie without Shah Rukh Khan due to his son Aryan's imprisonment in a cruise ship narcotics bust. Shah Rukh's and Nayanthara's photographs from the sets of Atlee's project in Pune were leaked on social media while they were on set. Fans were ecstatic to see SRK with Nayanthara after seeing the photographs.
