Hyderabad: Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu reportedly underwent “body language training”, months before the start of her upcoming magnum opus Shakuntalam.
She is said to have trained for three months in order to fit into the ‘classical’ mode of her role Shakuntala in the mythological drama helmed by Rudramadevi fame Gunasekhar.
General postures, graceful gait, and gestures associated with mythological characters are all part of the training, the source added.
