That Southern Indian films and subsequently actors and cinema creators from the region are gaining popularity across the medium has been the headlining truth about the industry for a while now. According to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), revenues from the South Indian film industry have doubled to `7,800 crore in 2022, from what they were in the previous year, making their total a chunky 52 percent of the annual revenue collected by the pan-Indian film industry.

At the heart of this high-octane fraternity, Samantha stands tall. Spanning across four languages—Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, also referred to as Kollywood, Tollywood, Sandalwood, and Mollywood— Samantha has successfully dabbled with the first two. In 2021, she made her debut in Hindi OTT shows with Family Man (Season 2), and is also starring in the anticipated Citadel, not to be confused with the American show, starring Priyanka Chopra, Richard Madden, and Stanley Tucci.
