The tabloids had a field day when they spotted that Siddarth and Samantha's proximity grew increasingly closer at an audio release function in Hyderabad. There were plenty of reports which suggested that both of them couldn't take their eyes of each other the whole time and suspected that something might be brewing between them.

Samantha though was quick to defend her relationship with Siddarth as being nothing more than professional. She finds it as a bit of a monotonous routine that the media cooks up matters such as this for nearly every project that she's involved with. She and Siddarth are working together on a Telugu film titled Jabardasth and it will be dubbed in Tamil as Dum Dum Pee Pee.
