Shakuntalam is a female-centric period film and in Telugu, we rarely see female-oriented movies, and that too this type of big-scale film is the first time in Telugu I guess, and talking about the budget of Shakuntalam is about 65 crores this is more than Samantha’s market but the makers believed in content and let’s hope for the best.
