Cinema VinesFans were treated to a heart‑warming sight at the Hyderabad celebration for the Telugu action film Maa Inti Bangaaram, which has just crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the box office. The event, held on Tuesday, saw actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and writer‑director Raj Nidimoru return to the city to toast the film’s success with its cast and crew.
The duo’s chemistry was on full display when Raj, who penned the script, high‑fived Samantha, who had produced and starred in the movie. The moment, captured on camera and shared across social media, quickly went viral, with fans praising Raj as a supportive husband and applauding Samantha’s radiant smile and visible baby bump under a stylish kurta.
In addition to the playful exchange, the pair posed together with the crew, holding up shields that read “₹100 crore” to commemorate the milestone. The gathering also highlighted the couple’s growing public profile, as they had recently confirmed their relationship at a yogic ceremony in Coimbatore and have been spotted together at pickleball events.
Samantha, who was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, has now announced her first pregnancy with Raj. She has shared glimpses of her pregnancy journal on social media, adding to the excitement surrounding the couple’s personal and professional partnership.
