Samantha Ruth Prabhu on making a female superstar
In a conversation with Variety India, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was asked why successful actresses still have to fight for working hours and bigger paychecks. Samantha Ruth Prabhu taking a one step at a time approach stated, “I’ve always said this: male superstars are not made in a day. Time and effort have gone into building larger-than-life male superstars. With every film, with every director working so hard to build this god-like status. It has taken time. I feel that that effort and time is not given to female stars.”She further suggested if filmmakers put the same effort they do while building an actress into a superstar it can be achieved. “If directors and producers put that effort into building an actress into a superstar, it will be possible. We just need that time and investment,” she said.
