Taking a step-by-step approach, Samantha Ruth Prabhu said, “I’ve always said this: male superstars are not made in a day. Time and effort has gone into building larger-than-life male superstars. With every film, with every director working so hard to build that godlike status. It took time. I think that effort and time is not given to female stars.”He further suggested that if filmmakers put in the same effort as they do while making an actress into a superstar, it can be achieved. “If directors and producers make that effort to make an actress a superstar, it will be possible. We just need that time and investment,” he said.
