In a double victory for fans, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has indeed announced her next Telugu project, "Maa Inti Bangaaram," and officially launched this new phase of her life. It is her first film since her intimate wedding to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru (of the iconic duo Raj & DK) on December 1, 2025.
The first-look poster, released on January 7, 2026, shows Samantha in a strong, gritty form, in direct contrast to her recent acting roles, marking a return to high-stakes drama. It is an unusual creative pairing on screen and, moreover, off-screen as well. Raj Nidimoru is the story's author, and Samantha serves as both star and producer under her own home banner, Tralala Moving Pictures.
Creator: Raj Nidimoru (marking his initial major Telugu feature creation post-marriage).
Cast: The film stars Gulshan Devaiah, Diganth, and seasoned actress Gautami.
Music: Composed by award-winning Santhosh Narayanan.
Teaser Trailer Launch Info: Alongside the fiery first look, there was also an announcement about the film's promotional launch. Fans can certainly expect plenty of excitement:
Teaser Release Date: January 9, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM IST.
Samantha describes the film as a story "rooted in love, belonging, and strength," reflecting her commitment to supporting "authentic and enduring stories" through her production team.
A Fresh Start:
The announcement comes just over a month after Samantha and Raj married in a traditional Linga Bhairavi ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. Having worked on global hits such as The Family Man Season 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny, their partnership is a newly found creative collaboration. Maa Inti Bangaaram is slated to become a hit film by late summer 2026 and is currently being produced very quickly in Hyderabad.
