During the promotions of Shaakuntalam, Samantha spoke more about her personal life and less about the film. She played the sympathy card big time and attracted a lot of attention for her film.
Samantha spoke in detail about how hard it was to break up with her husband Chay without no fault of hers. But sadly, all this did not help her one bit as Shaakuntalam flopped big time at the box office.
Well, now Chay Akkineni's Custody is releasing soon on the 12th of this month and Chay has done the same now. He has spoken about his broken marriage and said good things about Samantha in all his interviews.
Chay also said that the media should leave him alone as it has been a year since he got married. But still, the sympathy factor is being carried out for no reason by the fans and media. It failed for Samantha and will it at least work in the favor of Chay, only time will tell. Custody has been directed by Venkat Prabhu.
