There was buzz spreading around that Samantha has been opted out from the ongoing Suriya – Lingusamy film. Clearing all the reports, the director himself has said that, “We were continuously shooting in Mumbai without break, and Samantha has been brilliant so far during the shoots. I think her skin is very sensitive to heat. It turned a little red due to sun tan. So, she requested us for a couple of days rest and we have given her a few days off. We want her to be perfectly OK for the shoot, as the schedule involves a lot of her portions as well. The rest of the unit too has currently taken a break for a week, and will return to Mumbai and resume the shoot on December 7th”.
