Some people made inappropriate comparisons with Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s accents, which were also criticized during the recent Oscar tour to promote SS Rajamouli’s film RRR. One Twitter user expressed their admiration for Samantha but suggested that she should have spoken in an Indian accent instead of faking her accent, while another called the video “cringe.”

Samantha has faced criticism in the past for her failed movie Shaakuntalam and her dubbing accent with a gym-toned body. Fans are now hoping that her upcoming releases of the Indian versions of Citadel and the movie Kushi will be successful and silence all controversies surrounding her.
