Pay disparity has been a long-standing issue in the entertainment industry since its inception. For years, many actresses hesitated to address it publicly. However, as discussions around gender equality gained momentum, the industry gradually began acknowledging the pay gap between actors and actresses. Actress-turned-producer Samantha Ruth Prabhu has taken a firm stand on pay parity in her upcoming production, Bangaram. She has ensured that male and female actors receive equal compensation, setting a precedent in an industry often marked by wage disparities.
