We are aware that Samantha was born and brought up in Chennai. Could anyone believe the first Tamil film she watched is Gautham Menon's 'Khakka Kahakka' which was later remade in Telugu as 'Gharshana'? The actress claims she was studying 11th Standard at that point of time.
Interestingly, Gautham Menon was the one who discovered her acting calibre and introduced her to Telugu audience with the romantic entertainer 'Ye Maya Chesave'. Although, 'Kurralloy Kurrallu' was the first film she signed, It was 'YMC' which released first. Later, Samantha did a straight Tamil film 'Neethaane En Ponvasantham' (Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu) which was her best in Kollywood till date. All these important developments show how big a role Gautham Menon has played in the life of the golden leg.
Of course, The biggest surprise would be the declaration of Samantha that she had seen a Tamil film when she was at the age of 16 or 17. Is this real or just for the sake of publicity?
