One film. One love story. And now, one question on every fan’s mind — will Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya reunite to celebrate the movie that changed their lives?
Ye Maaya Chesave, the 2010 Telugu romantic drama that introduced Samantha and paired her with Naga Chaitanya, is all set to return to theatres on July 18, 2025, fifteen years after its original release. The re-release has sparked major buzz — not just for the timeless film, but for the ex-couple who once turned reel love into real.
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya first met while filming Ye Maaya Chesave. Their chemistry on-screen was undeniable, and soon after, their romance blossomed off-screen too. The two became one of South cinema’s most loved couples and tied the knot in 2017, much to the delight of their fans.
But in 2021, they publicly announced their separation — a move that left millions heartbroken. Since then, they’ve never been seen together, either in public or on screen. Life has moved on. Naga Chaitanya is now married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala, while Samantha, who has been linked to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, continues to reinvent herself as one of the boldest voices in Indian cinema.
Yet, the legacy of Ye Maaya Chesave remains. Directed by Gautham Menon and featuring A.R. Rahman’s unforgettable soundtrack, the film is widely seen as a modern Telugu classic. Its emotionally rich storytelling and youthful charm continue to hold a special place in audiences’ hearts.
And now, with the re-release date officially announced, social media is buzzing with one big question: will Samantha and Chaitanya come together again to promote the movie that first brought them close? There’s no confirmation yet — but the speculation alone is enough to stir nostalgia.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu Removes ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ Tattoo?
During their relationship, Samantha had inked three tattoos in tribute to Chaitanya and their journey together. One of the most prominent among them was the “YMC” tattoo on her upper back, an homage to the film where their love began.
Now, four years after their divorce, fans are speculating that the actress has had the tattoo removed. In a new Instagram video shared by Samantha, she’s seen wearing a burgundy dress with a deep-cut back while writing “Nothing to Hide” on a glass screen. But notably, the YMC tattoo is no longer visible on her back, which has led fans to wonder if she has decided to remove it.
