Following Samantha's comments, Sai Pallavi responded warmly by reposting Samantha's story with a heartfelt message wishing the team success. "Maa Inti Bangaaram was meant to reach you, dear Samantha. Sending you and Nandini Reddy the biggest hugs and best wishes. And yes, soon," Sai Pallavi wrote, which Samantha shared again on her story.
