Samantha Akkineni, Shruti Haasan Feature on a Special Edition Calendar Themed on Raja Ravi Varma’s Paintings, and They Look Breathtakingly Royal (View Pics)

Raja Ravi Varma is considered as one of the greatest painters in the history of Indian art. He was a celebrated Indian painter and artist. His works are known to have fusion of European techniques with a purely Indian sensibility. On February 1, Suhasini Maniratnam (wife of Mani Ratnam) had shared a tweet that read, “Naam charitable trust enters 10th year in February.  We have a surprise on Monday.  Royal classy beautiful and finesse  ...look out”. Well, the surprise has turned out to be totally regal. Samantha Akkineni and R Madhavan’s Pairing in This Commercial Will Make You Want Them Feature in a Film Soon (Watch Video).
