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.
