It has been 15 years since Samantha Ruth Prabhu made her debut in the film industry with the 2010 release Ye Maaya Chesave (YMC). Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film featured her former husband Naga Chaitanya in the lead role and solidified her standing in the industry. In an interview with TOI, Samantha expressed that she recalls ‘every single shot’ she performed for the film.

Samantha reflected on how certain moments from these 15 years ‘feel like forever,’ while others ‘feel like a blur.’ She admitted that in some of her earlier films, she acted ‘so badly’ due to a lack of guidance and her unfamiliarity with the Tamil language.
In 2010, Samantha had several releases in both Tamil and Telugu, including Moscowin Kavery alongside Rahul Ravindran, which was filmed prior to YMC but released later. She noted, “That film is a blur because we would shoot for a day, then take breaks, and resume after long intervals. However, Ye Maaya Chesave stands out—I remember every single shot.”
The actress shared that her first scene involved Jessie meeting Chaitanya’s character, Karthik. She recalled, “The first scene I shot was the gate meeting with Karthik. I remember every detail of that moment because it was an incredible experience working with Gautham Menon. He had a clear vision of what he wanted and how the character should be portrayed.”
