Samantha Ruth Prabhu opens up about her fears
Along with the video, Samantha spoke about the worries she had before the film was released. She said, “Before the release of Maa Inti Bangaram, I remember obsessing over one thing: were people even 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 exhibitor. She said the exhibitor was asked about the movie before its release. The exhibitor replied, “Why would anyone watch a heroine film? If she’s in a big hero’s film, fine. People know her for the glamour. But a film led by a heroine? Who will come? Nobody.” Samantha said she hopes this success will bring change to the film industry. She wrote, “I think real change only happens when someone is willing to take a risk.” She added, “I hope that the next time someone calls an exhibitor in a B or C centre and asks about a female-led film, the answer isn’t an instant no. Maybe it’s, ‘Let’s see.’”
