A story that connected with audiences
Directed by Nandini Reddy, Maa Inti Bangaaram has been praised for its emotional storytelling and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s performance. Set in the 1980s, the film follows Swarna, a woman who marries a doctor against his family’s wishes. As she slowly earns the love and trust of her new family, long-buried secrets from her past begin to resurface, threatening the life she has built.
So far, Maa Inti Bangaaram has earned ₹62.64 crore worldwide, including ₹44.34 crore gross from India and ₹18.30 crore from overseas markets. The film’s domestic net collection currently stands at ₹38.35 crore across 22,230 shows.
Samantha’s pregnancy
The film also made headlines for a personal reason connected to Samantha. Director Nandini Reddy recently revealed that Samantha filmed one of the songs during the early months of her pregnancy while dealing with morning sickness, without revealing the news to anyone on set. “Everyone thought she was unwell, but she later told me she was pregnant,” Nandini shared.
Samantha later confirmed her pregnancy herself during a promotional event. She also announced that she would be taking a maternity break after the release of the film, putting an end to weeks of speculation after she was spotted with a visible baby bump.
Produced under the Tra La La Pictures banner by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raj Nidimoru and Himanshu, Maa Inti Bangaaram has emerged as one of the biggest women-led hits in recent years. Apart from Samantha, the film also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Sreemukhi and Diganth Manchale in important roles.
