Akkineni Naga Chaitanya arrived in the industry with ‘Josh’ which is a message-oriented film aimed at the youth. Some say that this movie is underrated and even praise it now but it ended as a commercial failure back in 2009. Chaitanya opted for a class love story with no commercial elements under Gautham Vasudev Menon. It is ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ which came in 2010 and ended up being the first hit in his career.
This movie turned out to be a classic and it is one of the most beautiful love stories in the past two decades. The movie developed a cult following thanks to Gautham Menon’s work and AR Rahman’s magical songs. But it is the lead pair who turned out to be the biggest attraction of the movie. Naga Chaitanya romanced a new face named Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the movie and her adorable looks swept everyone off their feet including the hero.
They developed a good bond during this film and went onto act together in movies like ‘Auto Nagar Surya’, ‘Manam’ and ‘Majili’. They fell in love with each other and got married in November 2017. After being together for a few years, they got divorced in 2022 and it came in as a huge surprise to everybody. Both Chaitanya and Samantha are busy with their respective movies.
Recently, Naga Chaitanya shared a poster of ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ on the eve of its 13th anniversary. He did not tag Samantha but the poster included Sam as well. On the other hand, the ‘Dookudu’ actress shared a lot of messages about the film on her Insta stories but did not share a poster of the movie. While people are so focused on who shared what, they managed to ignore that both hero and heroine forgot to thank Gautham Menon who actually made the movie.
