Popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently shared a bunch of new photos on Instagram, and fans can’t stop talking about two of them — the ones featuring filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. The pictures have sparked fresh dating rumours, with many fans saying it looks like they’re now a couple.
Fans Think It’s a Confirmation
For the past few months, there have been whispers that Samantha is dating Raj Nidimoru, one half of the famous director duo Raj & DK. Neither Samantha nor Raj has spoken publicly about the rumours. However, they’ve been seen together several times.
Now, Samantha has shared new photos, and fans think these are enough to confirm the relationship. One picture shows her and Raj smiling while taking a selfie. Another sweet moment shows Samantha’s pet dog resting its head on Raj’s shoulder as he laughs.
Even though Samantha posted many photos — including ones with her dogs and behind-the-scenes shots from her upcoming film — fans were focused on the ones with Raj. One fan commented, “So it’s confirmed… iykyk.” Another said, “I was thinking the same.” One sharp-eyed follower even pointed out Raj in the background of an elevator photo, holding a bouquet. Several others noticed how happy Samantha looked with him.

Their Past and Present Work Together
Samantha and Raj have known each other for a while. They worked together on the hit web series The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Now, they’re teaming up again for a new project called Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. On top of that, they also co-own a pickleball team called the Chennai Super Champs.
Raj Nidimoru is already married to Shhyamali De, and they have a daughter together. Samantha was married to actor Naga Chaitanya, but the couple separated in 2021.
Samantha’s New Journey as a Producer
Apart from acting, Samantha has started her own film production company called Tralala Moving Pictures. Her first film under the new banner is titled Subham, and it’s set to release on May 9. While sharing the Instagram post, she wrote, “It’s been a long road, but here we are. New beginnings @tralalamovingpictures. #Subham releases on May 9th.”
In a recent interview, Samantha explained what she wants to achieve with her production house. She said she wants to make sure that everyone who works on her films is treated fairly. She believes in equal pay, equal skill, and equal opportunities for all. Her goal is to create a positive and respectful work environment in the industry.
