The Telugu mythological drama film ‘Shaakuntalam’ was written and directed by Gunasekhar in 2023. The movie, which has a budget of more than Rs 0.60 crores, was co-produced by Sri Venkateshwara Creations and Neelima Guna of Gunaa Teamworks.
The movie was made available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi on the 14th of this month. However, it is believed that the film only had a small number of openings due to Samantha's lack of other notable stars and the film's unfavourable reception from both moviegoers and critics.
