Many heroes in Kollywood own a production house and they have been producing and/or distributing their films or the films of other actors. But it will be a rare phenomenon if an actress that too a heroine gets into production and distribution which involves huge financial risk.

Now that rare phenomenon seems to be happening soon. We learn from sources that Samantha who has been remaining as the most sought after heroine in Kollywood and Tollywood for the past few years, will be venturing into production soon. She has apparently bought the Tamil remake rights of Kannada flick 'U Turn'.

'U Turn' has been directed by Pawan Kumar who made the Indian film industry turn towards Sandalwood with his critically acclaimed super hit 'Lucia'. Pawan has launched his production company to produce this film which is touted to be a thriller. and it stars Shraddha Srinath in the lead role.

Samantha is expected to reprise the lead role in the film's Tamil remake which will be her maiden production venture.

We will have to wait for official confirmation either from the actress or from the makers of 'U Turn'.
