Earlier, in an interview, Samantha had herself revealed that she's in for experimentation and was interested in doing web series. “I have no qualms of taking up something unconventional and interesting. On digital platforms, content is the king and there’s so much fun being a part of the original stuff,” she had said in an interview.
But with she taking up a negative role, fans are concerned if it will affect her image.
