Samantha Ruth Prabhu featured in the second installment of Raj and DK’s hit series Family Man, starring Manoj Bajpayee in the titular role. In the series, Samantha made headlines for her role as Raji, an unwavering Sri Lankan Tamil liberation fighter on a suicide mission.

On Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan 7  last year, Samantha described the show as “divine intervention.” She told the show’s host, “It was just this cry for a challenge because you know you get typecast with the roles that you are offered in the south, not because of any fault of theirs but directors saw me a certain way, as the bubbly, cute love interest. I was feeling stifled and I really wanted to breakthrough and here there was an opportunity to look at myself through another lens and I grabbed it. It was divine intervention.”
