At the promotional event for “Maa Inti Bangaram,” director-producer Raj Nidimoru responds to questions about expressing affection toward Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Reports say Nidimoru avoids saying “I Love You” in a public setting and instead offers a professional response, focusing on Samantha’s acting and involvement in the project. The interaction is described as light and careful, with Nidimoru indicating that his approach is nothing new.

Both outlets frame the event around Samantha’s return to the big screen. The film is presented as a release set for June 19 and also highlights Samantha’s expanded role beyond acting, including her participation as a producer. In addition to Samantha, the film’s production team includes producer Himank Duvvuru, alongside Nidimoru.

While the outlets emphasize different wording around the refusal to say “I Love You,” they agree on the core details: the incident occurs during a promotional appearance for “Maa Inti Bangaram,” Nidimoru does not make the requested declaration, and the event is tied to the film’s June release and Samantha’s producer role.
