Built on the premise of morality, the film questions what is right and whatРІР‚в„ўs wrong and in the process, makes us understand that whatРІР‚в„ўs right for someone need not be necessarily wrong for others. ItРІР‚в„ўs not easy for a mainstream heroine to play something so bold, especially when the film happens to be her first release after marriage. She played a wife who ends up in an awkward situation when the man sheРІР‚в„ўs having an affair with ends up dead while in the act. WhatРІР‚в„ўs interesting is that the film saw Samantha take up her boldest role yet.

Super Deluxe is Tamil cinemaРІР‚в„ўs most eccentric and boldest attempts in recent years. The film allowed Samantha to own a film completely on her shoulders and she succeeding in the attempt by delivering a knockout performance. ItРІР‚в„ўs special because it truly unleashed a never seen before kind of performance from Samantha, who was seen playing a crime journalist whose life turns upside down after she volunteers to find the reason behind the mysterious deaths of motorists on a flyover. If we are talking about one of her underrated performances, her role in Eega definitely deserves a mention.Р”В®ven though a remake of a Kannada film, IРІР‚в„ўd personally rate U-Turn as one of SamanthaРІР‚в„ўs best performances. In a role that sees her take revenge for the murder of her boyfriend, who returns to life in the form of a housefly the film saw Samantha bring out the vulnerability of her character very effectively. If youРІР‚в„ўre under the assumption that heroines donРІР‚в„ўt have much to do in SS RajamouliРІР‚в„ўs films, you have to watch Eega to realize how much scope the film offers Samantha to perform and shine. One can only imagine how challenging it wouldРІР‚в„ўve been to pull off. Jessie will remain as one of the most iconic roles in SamanthaРІР‚в„ўs career even today because she played it so early on in her career with barely any experience. The film follows the story of a young Mechanical Engineer Karthik, who aspires to become a film director and falls in love with Jessie, who is older than him. The film, which was a runaway hit, marked the maiden collaboration of Samantha and her future husband Akkineni Naga Chaitanya. One of the earliest films of her career, Ye Maya Chesave gave a glimpse of SamanthaРІР‚в„ўs potential in a very unorthodox role of a mainstream heroine stripped bare of the glitz and glamour.
