Fifteen years after its original release, the iconic Telugu romantic drama ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ is set to return to theatres on July 18, 2025, and with it, a wave of nostalgia—and speculation. The film’s re-release has reignited buzz around its lead stars, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, who famously turned their on-screen chemistry into a real-life romance.
Will Samantha and Chaitanya Reunite for Promotions?
While there’s no official confirmation, fans are abuzz with the possibility of the former couple appearing together to promote the film that launched their careers and love story. The duo, who married in 2017 and separated in 2021, have not been seen together publicly since their split.
A Film That Changed Lives
Directed by Gautham Menon and featuring music by A.R. Rahman, Ye Maaya Chesave marked Samantha’s debut and established Chaitanya as a romantic lead. The film’s emotional depth and timeless soundtrack earned it cult status, and its re-release is expected to draw both longtime fans and new audiences.
Life After Love: Where They Stand Now
Since their separation, both actors have moved on—Naga Chaitanya is now married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala, while Samantha is reportedly dating filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. Despite their personal journeys, the legacy of Ye Maaya Chesave continues to bind them in the hearts of fans.
Social Media Reacts
The announcement has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with fans expressing hope, curiosity, and even emotional conflict over a potential reunion. Some have noted that Samantha’s once-visible “YMC” tattoo—an homage to the film—appears to have been removed, adding another layer of intrigue.
