She was accompanied by filmmaker Raj Nidimoru and director BV Nandini Reddy. Photos and videos from their visit have been widely shared on social media, attracting attention from fans.
Dressed in traditional attire, Samantha and Raj were seen offering prayers and seeking blessings before the film’s release. The visit appeared to be a personal and spiritual moment as they prepared for an important phase in Samantha’s professional journey. Images from the temple quickly went viral, with many fans appreciating the simple and respectful appearance of the group.
The temple visit comes at a time when Samantha has also been speaking openly about her personal life and her relationship with Raj Nidimoru. During a recent interview with Galatta Plus, the actor shared how involved they are in each other’s decision making process. According to Samantha, many of her personal and professional choices are discussed with Raj before she makes a final decision.
Speaking about their relationship, Samantha said, “Every single thing is a joint decision. Not just a film, I saying something as simple as an Instagram post. I still just bounce it off him because he has such a real perspective on things. Even though he is in this industry, which kind of alienates you and kind of puts you in a bubble and he is so in touch with reality. So I think that I love to bounce off every decision that I make. I like to discuss it with him.”

On the professional front, Samantha is preparing for the release of Maa Inti Bangaaram, an action comedy directed by Nandini Reddy. Recently, Samantha revealed that the script was originally written with Sai Pallavi in mind. However, due to scheduling commitments, Sai Pallavi was unable to take on the project. As a result, the script was later adapted for Samantha.
After Samantha shared this information, Sai Pallavi responded with a warm message on Instagram. She wrote, “MIB was meant to reach you, dear @samantharuthprabhuoffl garu. Sending you and @nandureddy garu the biggest hug and best wishes. And yes, soon.”
The exchange between the two actors received positive reactions from fans, who appreciated the mutual respect and support between them.
Maa Inti Bangaaram is scheduled to release in theatres on June 19. Reports suggest that the film has already recovered its production costs through the sale of theatrical and non theatrical rights. According to industry updates, there was strong interest from multiple buyers seeking distribution and streaming rights for the project.
As the release date approaches, Samantha continues to remain in the spotlight both for her upcoming film and for the personal insights she has shared about her life and decision making process.
