Maa Inti Bangaaram Runtime Revealed: Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Baasha-Style Action Drama Is 2 Hours 34 Minutes of Pure Firepower

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set to own the big screen again, and this time she’s not just acting — she’s producing too. Maa Inti Bangaaram, her upcoming action-comedy drama, releases in theatres on June 19, 2026, and the pre-release buzz has only been growing. Now, with the runtime officially out and the director dropping a very exciting comparison, fans have every reason to be excited.

Maa Inti Bangaaram — Overview

Runtime & CBFC Certification Confirmed

Maa Inti Bangaaram has a runtime of 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 30 seconds. The film has also received a UA certification from the CBFC, officially confirmed by the makers. For an action-comedy of this nature, a runtime above the 2.5-hour mark signals that the makers are giving the story real breathing room — and that’s a good sign.

Director Calls It “Baasha-Style” — Here’s What That Means

This is the detail that truly got everyone talking. Director BV Nandini Reddy described the film as following a Baasha-style template, where the lead has a hidden past. She explained: “We slightly tweaked that template and explored how it would work with a woman in that position.”

The comparison to the iconic Baasha — Rajinikanth’s 1995 cult classic beloved for its “gentle man with a dangerous past” premise — is a bold and exciting one. Flipping that template with a woman at the centre is exactly the kind of fresh storytelling South cinema needs right now.

What Is Maa Inti Bangaaram About?

The film follows an innocent-seeming newlywed woman living with her husband in a traditional and conservative household. While struggling to earn the acceptance of her skeptical in-laws, she conceals an action-packed past and is forced to take on dangerous hoodlums to protect her family when her former life catches up with her.

It’s a masala entertainer with a strong female protagonist at its core — and with Samantha also co-producing it under Tralala Moving Pictures, there’s a clear personal investment in getting this right.

What’s Next for Samantha?

After Maa Inti Bangaaram, Samantha will next be seen in the web series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, co-starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi. The series is created by Raj and DK and directed by Rahi Anil Barve.
