Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya to reunite but there's a twist
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya's iconic film Ye Maaya Chesave is the latest addition to the bandwagon of films re-released theatrically. The 2010 romantic movie directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon has remained one of the cult favorite picks for audiences even today. And now, as the movie will be getting a re-release in the upcoming month, all eyes are on the ex-couple, whose real-life romance began on the sets of this film back in the day.
Ye Maaya Chesave gears up for re-release after 15 years
The Telugu romantic drama is set for a re-release after almost 15 years since its initial theatrical launch in 2010. Ye Maaya Chesave will be airing on the big screens once more from July 18 onwards. The news has generated a great deal of excitement among fans, who are eager to revisit the film's magic once more on the big screen.
Will Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya come together to promote YMC?
Interestingly, ever since the news of the movie's re-release has come out, netizens are quite excited about one more thing, which is whether the lead actors would reunite and come together to promote the film.
The movie indeed remains one of their finest performances to date, and fans are eagerly anticipating whether the ex-couple will reunite to promote the film once more, but this is said to be just a mere rumor. The two are coming together onscreen but not for real.
Samantha apparently got rid of her Ye Maaya Chesave tattoo
A few days ago, some pictures of Samantha Ruth Prabhu made headlines after fans spotted that the actress had removed her Ye Maaya Chesave tattoo.
The actress used to have an ink of YMC written at the back of her neck, which was also an epitome of the film's deep connection to her then-husband Naga Chaitanya.
Who was the first choice for the lead role in Ye Maaya Chesave?
Interestingly, Naga Chaitanya was not the first male actor to be considered for the lead role in Ye Maaya Chesave. The filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, in fact, had Mahesh Babu in mind for the same.
However, the actor had turned down the film even after hearing the script, as he believed it did not suit his star image at the time.

Keerthy Suresh And Suhas Starrer Uppu Kappurambu To Premiere Globally On THIS Date
Last Updated: Keerthy Suresh's Uppu Kappurambu, a Telugu satire set in 1990s rural India, streams worldwide on July 4. The film also stars Suhas, Babu Mohan, and more. Prime Video has officially announced the premiere date for its upcoming Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu. Slated to launch globally on July 4, the quirky social satire is produced by Radhika Lavu under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd and helmed by director Ani I.V. Sasi. The film features an ensemble cast led by Keerthy Suresh, Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari. Set in the 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu unfolds in the fictional South Indian village of Chitti Jayapuram, where the community finds itself in an unusual predicament—overwhelming pressure on its burial infrastructure. What follows is a delightfully absurd yet emotionally resonant journey as the villagers confront the crisis with humour, resilience, and heart. Written by Vasanth Maringanti, the film blends rural authenticity with a sharp satirical tone, offering a lighthearted take on a serious societal concern. It will stream in Telugu, along with dubs in Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, and will be available in over 240 countries and territories via Prime Video. Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India, shared his excitement about the project, stating, 'Uppu Kappurambu is a thought-provoking, yet delightfully quirky satire that captures the essence of an authentic rural milieu whilst bringing to the fore an unconventional theme. We're proud to collaborate with Ellanar Films and take Ani I.V. Sasi's unique vision, alongside a talented cast led by Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, to a global audience." Director Ani I.V. Sasi added, 'This is a story I've long wanted to tell. Set against the quirky and chaotic backdrop of rural life in the '90s, it explores how ordinary people navigate extraordinary situations with limited means but an unbreakable spirit. We wanted to deal with serious issues in a silly, cartoonish way—and I think we've done just that." With its blend of humour, nostalgia, and social insight, Uppu Kappurambu is poised to strike a chord with audiences both in India and abroad. The film marks yet another step in Prime Video's effort to showcase rooted, culturally diverse narratives on a global platform. First Published: June 16, 2025, 19:05 IST
