Following the release of her Telugu movie Jaanu, the remake of Vijay Sethupathi-Trisha's critically-acclaimed 96, Samantha was spotted offering prayers at the Tirupati temple in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh.

A video taken during her spiritual trip has been doing the rounds on social media. In the video, as Samantha climbs the stairs of the temple, her fans are seen walking parallelly while clicking pictures and recording videos of the actress. Samantha is then heard saying to one of them, "Look, behave properly. Do not pictures of me." Her stern warning made the fan back off immediately.

Despite critical acclaim, Samantha's 'Jaanu', starring Sharwanand and directed by Prem Kumar, is struggling to hold its ground at the box-office. Meanwhile, Samantha has signed up to play one of the leads in Vignesh Shivan's upcoming movie, 'Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal', that also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. This movie will mark Samantha's maiden collaboration with Nayanthara as well as Vijay Sethupathi.
