Samantha demanding pay in profits. Samantha, a leading lady in the Indian film industry, has reportedly turned down a substantial offer from a prominent producer, choosing instead to focus on establishing her own production house. Despite being offered a generous upfront payment and a 25% share in profits—potentially amounting to over Rs 10 crore—the actress remained resolute in her decision.
Sources reveal Samantha has been carefully planning her production venture for over six months, consulting with friends and associates before taking the plunge. Recognizing her growing pan-Indian appeal, she aims to capitalize on her popularity by spearheading her own projects.
Her upcoming action film, ‘Maa Inti Bangaram,’ will mark the launch of her banner. This strategic move showcases her dedication to building a platform that empowers her creative vision and control over her career trajectory.
Samantha’s ambition positions her as a trailblazer among top Telugu actresses. Unlike contemporaries like Anushka Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, and Tamannaah Bhatia, she is the first to establish her own production house, setting a precedent for female actors in the industry.
The success of her previous female-centric films like 'Oh! Baby' and 'Yashoda' has further solidified her resolve to champion such narratives through her production company. Samantha's decision underscores her commitment to shaping a new path for herself and other women in cinema, solidifying her status as a force to be reckoned with.
