**Storyline:**
“Shaakuntalam” is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language mythological romantic drama directed by Gunasekhar. Produced by Neelima Guna under Gunaa Teamworks and distributed by Sri Venkateswara Creations, the film is based on Kalidasa’s famous play, “Abhignyana Shakuntalam.” It stars Samantha in the lead role of Shakuntala and Dev Mohan as King Dushyanta, alongside supporting actors like Mohan Babu, Jisshu Sengupta, Madhoo, Gautami, Aditi Balan, and Ananya Nagalla. The story revolves around Shakuntala and King Dushyant’s marriage, which is disrupted when Dushyant forgets Shakuntala due to a sage’s curse.
The project was announced in October 2020, with filming starting in February 2021 and concluding in August 2021. The movie was shot in various locations around Hyderabad, including Ramoji Film City, Ananthagiri Hills, and Gandipet Lake. Made on a budget of ₹65 crore, the film was released theatrically on April 14, 2023, but received poor reviews and was a commercial failure.
