Based on Kalidasa’s eponymous work, Shaakuntalam will explore the love story of King Dushyanta and Shakuntala, daughter of Sage Vishwamitra and the heavenly Apsara, Menaka. Bankrolled by Neelima Guna under Gunaa Teamworks, the shooting of Shaakuntalam will reportedly kick-off from March 20 in Hyderabad
On the work front, Sam has the Tamil film ‘Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal’ in the making and the second season of Family Man ready for release.
