Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently doing a fantasy drama titled 'Rakht Brahmand' (Hindi original) with showrunners Raj and DK. The news is that 'Mirzapur' (Amazon Prime Video web series) fame actor Ali Fazal has been roped in for a crucial role in it.
Also featuring Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapoor and starlet Wamiqa Gabbi, the series will go on the floors later this month.
A fantasy drama featuring Samantha in a prominent role is a first. 'Shaakuntalam' was described by many as a fantasy drama but it was a mythological based on a play written by Kalidasa.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu was recently in the news when a specialist called for her arrest for endorsing alternative therapies of allegedly dubious nature. At that time, the 'Kushi' actress described the doctor's slamming of her as "provocative". She added that she was using hydrogen peroxide solution for respiratory problems upon the advice of an MD doctor who has worked for the DRDO for 25 years.
