Unni Mukundan plays a doctor in Yashoda. Hailing her as a dedicated and hardworking artiste, he said that Samantha never revealed that she was fighting a condition called Myositis while shooting for the film.

According to IANS, he added, "She has prepared a lot for her role that includes action and emotional scenes. She would interact well with other artists on set. We discussed ideas on how we could improvise the action in a scene."

It may be noted that Samantha recently revealed that she is suffering from an auto-immune condition called Myositis. Unni Mukundan said that he felt sad after seeing Samantha's post. "She'll fight Myositis and come back in good health," he said.

Besides Telugu, billed as a pan-Indian women-centric film, Yashoda will be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

The makers roped in Hollywood stunt choreographer Yannick Ben to choreograph action sequences. Samantha plays a surrogate mother, unravelling the secrets of the medical world in the film.
