Samantha has time and again cleared the air saying that she will be continue acting and will not quit films. She said, 'It's so unfortunate that I have to address the "marriage means quitting films" issue. I don't know anything other than films – for the last eight years I have been living out of a suitcase and working in films. There's not much I know other than films and I don't want to leave films. I am marrying into a family and a person who is very encouraging of what I am doing right now. I think it's up to the audience and filmmakers to see beyond the whole tag of marriage, and it is happening. If it can happen in Bollywood, it should happen in the South as well. Until the audience and the industry say we've had enough of her, I'm not quitting films!'
Samantha also expressed displeasure that heroines do not get meaning full roles and that is the reason she is not signing many films. People were speculating that the actress is going to quit films and that is the reason she is not signing any more films. Sam however has signed two films. Producer RD Raja while announcing his third production venture with Sivakarthikeyan and director Ponram confirmed that Samantha has been signed up to play the lead role. Also Samantha has now signed the female lead for Vishal's Irumbu Thirai with debutante director, Mithran.
