In an exclusive chat with us, director duo Hari and Harish confirmed that the film is based on a true incident. "The backdrop of the story is about a crime which is happening without the knowledge of anyone in society. The crime which we are showing is based on a true incident but we have added some psychological thriller flavour to it. It is about a crime that is confronted by a normal girl when she learns about it. How she exposes the plot."
Playing a surrogate in this gritty, edge-of-the-seat action thriller, Yashoda is helmed by Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan. The film will feature Samantha as the surrogate mother Yashoda, unfolding the secrets of a serious medical crime with courage.
Thriller, suspense, and action

With Yashoda, Samantha is collaborating with Yannick Ben for the second time, after their first association for ‘The Family Man’, recently the stunt choreographer heaped praises on the leading lady for her dedication and devotion. The actress said that the most challenging part of shooting for Yashoda was the action sequences.
Yashoda- Women-centric film
Samantha is one such actress in the South, who has managed to entertain the audience just with a good story and great performance as we have seen with her 2019 film Oh Baby. Now, yet again, she is back with a women-centric film Yashoda and the expectations are sky-high. The actress opened up about female-driven scripts and said they have become the new flavour. She added, "I have been in this industry for 12 years now and I can see that female-driven scripts have become the new flavour and women are rising with the occasion. In hero films, you only get a certain type of role to play but in women-driven movies, it is more challenging to work for interesting roles."
