Samantha Akkineni is at the peak of her career now, thanks to the success of Rangasthalam, Mahanati, Super Deluxe and Majili. The actress has now geared up for the release of her much-anticipated film, Oh Baby. The Southern beauty is leaving no stone unturned for the film's promotions and this has only helped to increase the film's recall value. While the actress is gearing up for the film's release on July 5, Sam has opened up about the pay equality and how she is dreaming of this big change in the film industry.
During an interview with The Hindu, Samantha Akkineni spoke about pay equality. She said, "I dream of a day when women will have an equal footing and pay as that of men. Personally, touchwood, I have a lovely family. Chaitanya and I are happy with the friendship and companionship we have for each other. I don’t want to change anything. Of course, someday I want to bring a baby into this world."
Further speaking about having a women-strong crew on the sets of Oh Baby, Sam said, "We were a small but efficient team. Producer Sunita Tati, director Nandini, executive producer Divya, production designer Jayashree and Niharika who does the marketing… we all took it one day at a time and pulled it off. As women, we always have the urge to prove ourselves in this male-dominated industry. We worked with that hunger and fire, wanting to do our best."
Helmed by B. V. Nandini Reddy, Oh! Baby is an official remake of South Korean film Miss Granny, the movie also stars Naga Shaurya and veteran actress Lakshmi.
