Samantha Ruth Prabhu on the film’s journey
Samantha recently shared a heartfelt note on Instagram. She wrote, “A friend of mine called an exhibitor in a B centre. He didn’t know I was listening. My friend asked, ‘What do you think about Maa Inti Bangaram? How much do you think it’ll open at?’ The exhibitor didn’t hesitate. ‘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 added, “I think real change only happens when someone is willing to take a risk. Most of the time, those risks don’t pay off. Every once in a while, they do. For us, this one did.”
ETimes review of ‘MIB’
ETimes praised the film for presenting a refreshing take on the commercial action genre. The review read, “The film may not reinvent the action-drama template, but it reshapes it around a female protagonist who is allowed to be both vulnerable and formidable. In a genre often driven by swagger, that feels like a refreshing choice.” Go to Source
