It all started when one wishful fan requested ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli to consider NTR and Samantha for cameos in his magnum-opus Baahubali, a bi-lingual featuring Rana Daggubati, Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah in lead roles.
Here is what happened next.

Later, Samantha decided to join the party and pulled SS Rajamouli’s legs pleading for a role in Baahubali.
@midemigod @ssrajamouli yes pleaseeee.. Ha ha u don’t need anymore publicity but pleaseeee

Film Critic Mahesh S Koneru wanted to have a say and suggested an amusing scene situation for Samantha, to which she readily agreed.

Then, the newly-wed Neeraja Kona, the popular costume designer in Tollywood, decided to take a dig and she too joined the party. By now, Samantha was truly convinced that SS Rajamouli is going to block them all.
@NeerajaKona @smkoneru @HarshaAdonis @ssrajamouli I think he s gonna block all of us. We should calm down now

Finally, SS Rajamouli came up with this epic reply which put an end to the conversation.
@ssrajamouli omg sarrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ha ha ha ha

Some newspaper outlets fell bait for their prank and reported a tiff between Rajamouli and Samantha. Then, SS Rajamouli had to intervene and clear the air that it was a prank all along with the below tweet.
Some sites report a tiff between me&Samantha based on our tweets yesterday. Do they REALLY don’t understand that we were joking? Beats me…
