Samantha has decided to take a sabbatical from her acting career until she fully recovers from her illness.
In line with this, she has returned the advance payment she received from three major production companies.
By returning the money, Samantha has made it clear that she will not be involved in any film projects for at least a year. As a result, she stands to lose a significant amount of money during this period.
Given that Samantha typically charges between Rs 3.5 and Rs 4 crore per film, and considering that she recently signed three projects, her potential loss amounts to anywhere between Rs 10 and Rs 12 crore.
Despite her break from acting, Samantha will continue to engage with her fans by sharing promotional posts on Instagram.
With a whopping 28 million followers on the platform, she earns a substantial income through promotional posts and brand endorsements. These activities will still provide her with a steady stream of income during her sabbatical period.
