Samantha Ruth Prabhu speaks openly about her fears
Along with the video, Samantha spoke about the fears she had before the film was released. She said, “Before the release of Maa Inti Bangaram, I remember obsessing over one thing: Were people talking about the film? Were the assets we were putting out reaching people? Did they know this film existed?”She also shared a story about a film viewer. She said that the viewer was asked about the film before it was shown.
The showrunner replied, “Why would anyone watch a heroine-led film? If she’s in a big hero film, that’s fine. People know her for her charm. But a heroine-led film? Who will come? Nobody.”
Samantha said she hopes this success will bring about change in the film industry. “I believe that real change only happens when a person is willing to take risks,” she wrote. “I hope that the next time someone calls an exhibitor in a B or C position and asks about a female-led film, the answer won’t be an immediate no,” she added.
Maybe it’s like: “Let’s see.”
