The first look of the movie was shared in February. The first look poster is particularly symbolic since it depicts the first-moment Dushyanta laid eyes on Shakuntala. The King was hunting in the woods when he fell deeply in love with the hermit girl. In the absence of her father, Shakuntala wedded Dushyanta as per the Gandharva ritual in which a couple marries with a mutual agreement as Mother Nature witnesses the event.
The love epic of Queen Shakuntala and King Dushyanta is not just one of the ancient Indian legends but also a story of love that has touched many throughout the years and led to the creation of romantic plotlines.
Gunasekhar has directed the film, which also features Dev Mohan in a prominent role. Shakuntala will be played by Samantha, while Dev plays Dushyant. Neelima Guna, the Shakuntalam producer, has disclosed that Kabir Duhan Singh will portray the antagonist in the film. Kabir will take on the character of King Asura.
