At the Hyderabad event, Alia Bhatt praised her "dearest" Samantha for being a "hero on and off-screen." Admiring her resilience and strength, she said, "It's not easy to be a woman in a man's world, but you have surpassed gender. You stand tall on your two feet, and you have your talent, and your strong kicks to be an example for everyone."
The event was also graced by filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas who hailed Samantha Ruth Prabhu's talent. He said that after Rajinikanth, the Citadel star has the widest fan base across the country. Calling her a true hero, the director shared how Allu Arjun also admires Sam’s work. Trivikram recalled that Allu Arjun became the actress’ fan after watching Ye Maaya Chesave. The film also featured Naga Chaitanya.
Alia Bhatt also took a moment to laud Trivikram's work and urged him to cast her and Samantha in his film. She said, "Trivikram sir, I think Samantha and I should be in a film written and directed by you."
Work-wise, Samantha is all set for the release of her upcoming spy thriller web series with Varun Dhawan titled Citadel: Honey Bunny. The show will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from November 7.
