Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s rep denies reports of her exit from upcoming films due to myositis diagnosis

Days after reports surfaced that Samantha Ruth Prabhu might be opting out of a few projects owing to her myositis diagnosis, the actor’s team has finally revealed the truth regarding her forthcoming projects in Bollywood.

In an interview with Indian Express, Samantha’s representative Mahendra said that the actor is taking rest at present. Samantha will participate in the shooting of the ‘Kushi’ post-Sankranthi in January and following that, she will continue with her Bollywood project.

‘We had given dates for the Hindi movie from January. But due to the unforeseen circumstances, the shootings of the films may be delayed by about six months. So now she will only be able to participate in the shooting of her Hindi film from April or May. According to the earlier plans, the shoot for Samantha’s Bollywood film will start in January, and the dates were also allocated accordingly,’ he said.

‘It’s not a good thing to make someone wait for a long time since moviemaking involves so much effort. So we have been giving the clarity (to the makers) from the beginning to proceed according to the planned schedules if it is not possible to wait. Samantha has not walked out of any of the accepted projects officially. So far there is no truth in the news reports about her departure from her upcoming projects,’ he added.

Samantha, who was last seen in ‘Yashoda’, opened up about her battle with myositis in October. She is now awaiting the release of her much-anticipated film, ‘Shaakuntalam’. She also has ‘Kushi’ alongside Vijay Deverakonda and a Hindi film in her kitty.
