After delivering a superhit with Dookudu in 2011, this "lucky charm" of Tollywood can´t be more happy about her "super exciting 2012". "Eight of my films are releasing this year! I can´t be happier as I play a different character in each of these films," says a beaming Samantha. Ask the actress her reaction on being called ´Number 1´ in the South film industry and she laughs it off. "Everyone is called that! How many number ones are there in the industry really? If you ask me, the equation changes every Friday," she quips...
