Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke openly about moving away from the typical action-driven, male-centric storytelling, and did not shy away from admitting the film’s road to release is far from smooth. The actress also noted what makes this achievement feel so close to her heart, the fact that: Raj Nidimoru is behind it not only as a producer, but also as the writer of its story.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu in cinema who humiliated women in the scene
Speaking in an interview about her recent film ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’, Samantha shared, “What attracted me to the story, I never saw it breaking the genre or trying to make a statement. I saw it as a compelling character with real depth and it has a lot of scope to enjoy and I feel that’s rare, especially for women in cinema. Also, I think that action is never a spectacle and I think it’s time we stop putting women in the cinema just for the scene, just for the dance or a song or a role, just for the scene.“He added, “I think the audience has changed; they are more open to newer stories and they no longer ask if a hero is male or female. They just want to be entertained; they want to be moved. If a character is written honestly and the story connects, people will accept it and I believe that is the direction mainstream cinema is going and I am happy to be a part of the journey.”
