Ahead Of 'Maa Inti Bangaram', Samantha Reveals Why Raj Nidimoru’s Opinion Matters: '99 Percent Of The Time I Listen To Him' As excitement builds around the release of *Maa Inti Bangaram*, Samantha has opened up about the pivotal role writer-director Raj Nidimoru plays in her
life, both personally and professionally. The actor-producer shared that she frequently seeks his advice before making key decisions, often prioritizing his judgment over her own. Speaking to Galatta Plus, Samantha revealed, “Every single thing is a joint decision.
Not just a film. Something as simple as an Instagram post, I still bounce it off with him.” Samantha praised Raj for his grounded perspective, noting that despite working in an industry that can create a bubble around individuals, he remains deeply connected to reality.
This quality, she said, makes his advice invaluable. “He is so in touch with reality. I love to bounce off every decision that I make. I would like to discuss it with him. And 99 per cent of the time I listen to him,” she added.
Raj Nidimoru’s involvement in *Maa Inti Bangaram* has been extensive, with Samantha describing the film as "his baby." While Nandini serves as the director, Raj’s creative influence spans every stage of production, from scripting to post-production.
His contributions include on-set supervision, sound design discussions, music inputs, and shaping the overall vision of the film. *Maa Inti Bangaram* also marks Samantha’s return to the big screen following her appearances in the 2023 releases *Shaakunthalam* and *Kushi*.
Since then, she has explored diverse projects, including her role opposite Varun Dhawan in Raj and DK's Prime Video series *Citadel: Honey Bunny*.
