Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals she has been paid 'dramatically different salary' than her male co-stars for same work

Pan-Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke about the industry's salary disparities and her desire to ensure equal remuneration for all artists.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu aspires to ensure fair pay for film cast members through her production company, Tralala Moving Pictures.

In an interview with Foodpharmer, the Family Man actress revealed that she has worked on productions where she was paid 'dramatically different' than her male co-stars for an equally difficult role.

During the interview, Samantha addressed the problem, saying, "I've been in several films where, I'm not sure why, but you're paid significantly different salaries for the same number of days and role. I understand that huge films are hero-driven, with the hero attracting audiences to the theater. I recognise that there is a distinction. However, there were films in which the role was equally demanding, and there was still a clear difference."
