Samantha Ruth Prabhu's break from films

After wrapping up the Indian chapter of the web series Citadel, Samantha is taking a step back from acting for at least one year. While she is looking forward to this break, she would primarily focus on her health, and undergo treatment for autoimmune condition myositis in the US, said a source close to the actor.

“Few months back, Samantha decided that she will be taking a break from acting, and was just waiting to wrap up her projects — Kushi with Vijay Deverakonda and the Indian segment of Citadel with Varun Dhawan. When I checked with her a few months back, she told me that she is not signing any projects currently,” the source earlier told Hindustan Times.

Addressing the reports of her returning money to producers for the projects she had signed, the source added, “This is a bit of assumption and exaggeration because she decided to take a break some time ago and was not even accepting anything. There is no new project where her name was associated with.”

Samantha's health

In 2022, Samantha revealed that she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called myositis, and the source said that she took a six-month break for treatment at that time, too. Now, she is determined to regain her health in a holistic way before resuming work, the source said. Samantha will be leaving for the US in August for treatment.
