It is her first birthday since her split from actor Naga Chaitanya, and actor Samantha will be spending the day in Kashmir, working on her next project — a film by Majili (2019) director Shiva Nirvana.

Samantha, who turns 35 today, will celebrate her day bringing another character to life, along with co-star Vijay Deverakonda and the team of the Telugu family entertainer. The shoot for the movie started on April 23, and we can exclusively confirm that Samantha will not be taking a break from her month-long schedule.

“When it comes to work, she has had a successful 2021, full of love and appreciation. She doesn’t want to break the momentum,” says a source, adding, “The team is heading for a long schedule in Kashmir and Samantha will join them. She will be shooting on April 28, so it’s a working birthday.”

“Work has really helped her get through a lot last year. And she doesn’t want to change anything. Samantha is a passionate actor and a true workaholic. The team feels great to have her as part of this project, and happy that she will celebrate her day with them,” says the insider.
