At the height of her stardom, Samantha surprised fans by signing Alludu Seenu, the debut film of actor Bellamkonda Srinivas.

In an unusual gesture, Samantha was not paid a traditional fee for the film. Instead, Bellamkonda Suresh gifted her one of his three farmhouses, knowing she was looking to purchase one. The film initially had a two-heroine concept, but Samantha’s dedication remained constant throughout the production.
