One thing I’ve realised is that I need to listen to my body, so I’ve reduced the amount of work I do. But now everything I do and put my energy into matters so much more. Nothing is for the heck of it. The quantity may have reduced, but the quality of projects has definitely increased,” the actress added.On the work front, Samantha recently appeared in a cameo role in the Telugu film 'Subham'. She was last seen in Prime Video’s action-packed series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny', where she starred opposite Varun Dhawan in a spy thriller created by Raj and DK.Looking ahead, Samantha will feature in 'Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom', another high-energy series directed by Raj and DK.
