But the fun didn’t stop there! Rana Daggubati continued his playful jabs, asking Samantha Ruth Prabhu why she hadn’t done more Telugu films.

Rana also asked, “Where did comedy Sam go?” To which Samantha, with perfect timing, replied, “Comedy Sam... controversial Sam. She went to sleep; good night.” Their fun banter on stage was one of the standout moments of the 2024 IIFA Utsavam, and it’s one fans will surely remember. Throwback Thursday!
