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 higher salaries. Samantha Ruth Prabhu takes it step by step: “I always say this: Male superstardom is not made in a day. Time and effort go into creating a legendary male superstar. Every film and every director strives to create this god-like status.” This takes time. I feel that such effort and time are not something female celebrities can give. “She further suggested that this could be achieved if filmmakers put in the same effort in making actresses into superstars. “It is possible if directors and producers put in the effort to turn actresses into superstars. We just need time and investment,” she said.

Her film “Maa Inti Bangaaram” was co-produced by her husband and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. In the same outlet, she also talked about working with him. “It’s actually very simple. I know most people won’t believe this. But it’s really easy to work with Raj on everything. We can discuss the silliest things with ease.”Samantha Ruth Prabhu originally worked with Raj on the second season of the espionage action thriller web series The Family Man. They later collaborated on Citadel: Honey Bunny.“We’ve known each other for so many years and we’ve never had a fight. This is cool. Especially since we are not only busy with our personal lives but also with each other’s work. Our relationship is very collaborative. We truly believe we have our best interests at heart. “
