Is Samantha’s Rakht Brahmand Web Series Shelved?

Samantha, who once ruled the South film industry as a leading heroine, seems to be going through a rough phase. Her recent ventures haven’t made much noise, and now there’s talk that her upcoming web series, Rakht Brahmand, might have been shelved. After her divorce from Naga Chaitanya and her battle with myositis, she returned to work with Khushi and Citadel, but neither brought her the success she needed.

The latest trouble seems to be around Rakht Brahmand, a series created by Raj & DK. A few years ago, reports came out that a key member of the production team was involved in financial fraud. Crores of rupees were said to have gone unaccounted for, and this was backed by an internal audit. Shooting was stopped after just 25 days, but half the budget was already gone. Since then, there hasn't been much movement, and platforms like Netflix reportedly don’t want to pour in more money.

With Shubham, her first film as a producer, not doing well either, Samantha’s professional graph appears to be stuck. At the moment, she has no major projects confirmed. If Rakht Brahmand has really been shelved, this puts her in a tough spot. Industry buzz suggests directors may now think twice before offering her lead roles again.

People close to the team claim the project isn’t cancelled, but there has been no official update for a long time. For Samantha, who once had back-to-back hits, this silence speaks volumes. Whether she bounces back or takes a break, the next few months may decide where her career heads from here.
