Producing: A More Fulfilling Role
While Samantha still finds acting rewarding, producing brings a deeper sense of satisfaction.
“I think it’s just one part of the movie-making process. And when you’re a producer, there’s so much to learn about every aspect of filmmaking,” she said.
She emphasized how producing Subham has taught her more than any previous acting role.
Embracing the Role of a Storyteller
Looking ahead, Samantha is not restricting herself to any single genre.
“I’m open to exploring a wide range of stories, but naturally, as a woman, my perspective will shape the kind of narratives that I’m drawn to,” she shared.

The trailer for Subham was released on April 29, teasing a film packed with humor, horror, suspense, and heart. As Samantha gears up for the release, she remains excited and determined to contribute more meaningfully to cinema—both on and off screen.
