An old interview of samantha Ruth Prabhu has resurfaced on social media, drawing renewed attention and discussion among fans and cinephiles. In this candid conversation, samantha openly admitted that she regrets being a part of the 2014 film Anjaan, which starred Suriya and was directed by Lingusamy. At the time, the film was one of the most hyped collaborations in tamil cinema, with a promising combination of a bankable star and a seasoned director. samantha revealed that she signed the project purely based on the star power and the reputation attached to the team, expecting it to be a major milestone in her career.
However, reality turned out to be starkly different. Not only did Anjaan fail to meet expectations, but it also crashed at the box office and became a subject of widespread trolling for its storyline, direction, and performances. samantha was particularly vocal about how disappointed she felt, especially since she had taken a bold step by appearing in a bikini for the first time in her career, something she hadn’t done before and wouldn’t have considered under normal circumstances. She mentioned that she made that choice thinking the film would be a turning point and wanted to challenge herself, but the backlash and poor reception made it feel like a wasted risk. For someone known for choosing strong roles and evolving performances, Anjaan became a rare misstep that she now reflects on with a sense of regret.
The resurfacing of this interview has sparked fresh conversations about how even top actors sometimes fall for the "big name trap", and how films with all the right ingredients on paper can still go wrong without strong storytelling. Samantha’s honesty has been appreciated by many, with fans admiring her for owning her decisions and learning from them. Her experience with Anjaan is now often cited as an example of how actors must trust their instincts and scripts more than just reputations. While the film may not have lived up to the hype, Samantha’s transparency has only strengthened her image as an actor who’s both self-aware and unafraid to speak her truth.
