No Bollywood dreams for Sam

The actress, who recently refused an offer in Hindi, says she is happy with her projects in Tamil & Telugu

​Most of the South Indian actresses may be frantically trying to expand their reach and popularity in Bollywood, but Samantha Ruth Prabhu belongs to a different ilk. The actress has made it clear that she would like to pursue her career in Telugu and Tamil movies.

Samantha was recently approached for a Hindi movie to be produced by a leading South-based banner.
However, according to sources, the actress politely turned down the offer. The actress's career graph is at its peak and her hands are full with Telugu and Tamil projects. Samantha is candid about her lack of interest in Bollywood.
"Mumbai is home to heroines like Kajal and Tamannaah. Just like I want to do more work in South, they are keen on doing films in Hindi which is their mother tongue. I am not keen on going to B-town. I am not even tempted to make an attempt," she said.
Her stand is logical, given that most of the South-based actors, who have tried to make it big in Bollywood, are facing several hurdles despite being part of multiple hits. Tamannaah debuted opposite Ajay Devgn through Himmatwala, which bombed at the box office.

Though Tamannaah enjoys cult following in South, she is desperately trying her luck in Bollywood. Now, she is part of Humshakals, a multi-starrer movie, which she would have easily said 'no' if produced in South.
Kajal Agarwal's career in Hindi movies is not heading in the right direction despite being part of two hits - Singham and Special 26.
Though Asin has been part of several blockbusters, the fact remains that she is yet to leave her mark in Mumbai. Amala Paul and Pranitha Subhash are keen on making a career in Hindi movies and are knocking the doors of leading banners.
"On the contrary, Samantha need not experiment with her career by venturing into Hindi movies as she has cemented her place in South. If at all something interesting comes her way, she may think about it. But she is not chasing Bollywood offers," one of her casting managers said. For the record, Samantha has four South movies in her kitty.
