Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Maa Inti Bangaaram Recovers Costs Ahead of June 19 ReleasePreviousNext

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's upcoming Telugu film Maa Inti Bangaaram, releasing on June 19, has recovered its full production cost through strong pre-release sales of theatrical and non-theatrical rights. Produced by Tralala Moving Pictures and directed by B.V. Nandini Reddy, the female-led action drama marks Samantha's return after three years. The film, featuring a woman with a concealed gangster past in a traditional family setting, faces competition at the box office alongside other regional and Hindi releases.
