Earlier today, Allu Arjun thanked director Gunasekhar for roping in his daughter Arha for a role in 'Shaakunthalam'. Bunny described the under-production movie as a beautiful one.

Acknowledging the tweet, the 'Okkadu' director took to Twitter and thanked the Icon actor for letting his daughter do the role. "By giving us your daughter to be our Prince Bharata, you have once again proven how much you love and respect our culture, heritage, and our history. Thank you for your support and encouragement. It means a lot to us," he tweeted.

In his tweet, the 'Pushpa' actor mentioned Samantha Akkineni. "I had an altogether different journey with Samantha and am happy to watch Arha debut with her movie. My best wishes to the entire Cast & Crew of #Shakuntalam," he wrote.

Samantha is playing the titular character. Neelima Guna and Allu Arjun are producing the film.
