Samantha Ruth Prabhu was planning to start a family with Naga Chaitanya, says Shakuntalam producer

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya's marriage hitting a rocky patch was something being rumoured about for a long time now. However, the Family Man 2 actress decided to put a stop to the speculations and confirmed that she and Naga Chaitanya are indeed getting separated. The rumours did not stop there- it was being said that Samantha had cheated and had an abortion. But the actress, once again shut everyone. Now, the producer of her upcoming film Shakuntalam has claimed that the actress was indeed planning to start a family with Naga Chaitanya.

Talking to News Minute, producer Neelima Guna said, "Last year itself, when my father director Gunasekhar garu and I approached Samantha for Shaakuntalam, she loved the story and was very excited by it, but she told us that if she were to accept the role, the shooting should be completed by maximum July/August this year. She informed me that she was planning to start a family and that she wants to become a mother and that it would be her priority. She was a little apprehensive since period films take a lot of time, but we told her that due to the pre-production and proper planning that we have done, we would be able to accomplish the entire shoot within the time period and there would be no tensions whatsoever."

Samantha made a post and wrote that she will never allow the rumours or anything else being said about her to break her. We hope that she is able to deal with all the problems and emerge stronger.
