After a three-year hiatus, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is set to reclaim the Telugu silver screen, and she’s doing it in style. On Wednesday, the actor unveiled the first-look poster of her much-anticipated film, Maa Inti Bangaaram, and fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
The poster immediately establishes Samantha as a force to be reckoned with. Clad in a simple, earthy saree, she stands tall and unapologetic inside the dim, timeworn frame of a public bus. Her piercing gaze, stern expression, and commanding posture speak volumes: this is a woman who doesn’t back down. With a lone-wolf energy that suggests grit, determination, and quiet fury, Samantha’s character hints at a role that promises intensity and action. The poster also confirms the official teaser will drop on January 9, 2026, fueling anticipation even further.

Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate her return. Comments poured in: “Lady boss is back,” “Queen back to business,” and “Women power vibes,” alongside a flurry of fire emojis and excitement-filled reactions. It’s clear that Samantha’s fandom has been waiting for this moment—and they are ecstatic.
Maa Inti Bangaaram marks her first film post-marriage to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, making this comeback even more special.
Produced under the banner Tralala Moving Pictures by Samantha herself, alongside Raj Nidimoru and Himank Duvvuru, the film reunites Samantha with director B.V. Nandini Reddy after their successful collaborations in Oh! Baby and Jabardasth. Speaking about the project, Samantha describes the story as one deeply rooted in love, belonging, and strength—an ethos that resonates through the teaser poster.
The film’s ensemble also includes Gulshan Devaiah and Diganth in lead roles, with veterans Gautami and Manjusha in pivotal parts. The release date is yet to be announced, but if the poster is anything to go by, audiences can expect a thrilling cinematic ride.
After a period of waiting, Samantha’s fans are finally seeing the return of a powerhouse performer, and Maa Inti Bangaaram is shaping up to be nothing short of spectacular. The countdown to January 9 has officially begun.
