Shankuntalam is a mythological drama, whose world is depicted in a very beautiful way. Shankuntala was abandoned by her parents in her childhood due to some reason and she grew up in Sage Kanva’s hermitage. When Shakuntala met King Dushyant, the duo fell in love and married Gandharva. King Dushyant leaves Shakuntala in the ashram and returns to his kingdom, promising to take her back after doing the necessary work. But, Dushyant forgets about Shakuntala due to Durvasa Muni’s curse, then Shakuntalam tells the story of Shakuntala’s sacrifice and struggle. Our cultural heritage is rich. And the story of this film is inspired by one of our oldest classics. Apart from the story, the movie has high-level graphics and special effects. The film is released in Telugu states 2D and 3D formats besides in its dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam languages.
After Shankuntalam, Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be seen in Kushi alongside Vijay Deverakonda and Citadel alongside Varun Dhawan.
