Samantha’s Shaakuntalam got released today and Samantha plays the central character Shakuntala, the daughter of Menaka and Viswamithra. The film, produced and directed by Gunasekhar, was released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Meanwhile, Samantha’s bold comments on a few issues are making trends on social media.
In an interview, Samantha Ruth Prabu spoke about her decision to accept a song like Oo Antava.
Samantha said, “The third, f*** it I’ll do it. I mean why not? I loved the song. It was a satire on the male gaze. I know I got a lot of criticism about pandering to the male gaze while making a satire on the male gaze. My logic was who else can satire a male gaze except for the nautch girl I was playing in the song or an actor who has a wide experience or wide range of the male gaze? Only a nautch girl or I can satire the male gaze.”
Recently she also spoke about #MeToo and women’s rights. She said that she can only be honest and transparent. She added that she gets pulled up a lot by people because they can’t handle such brutal honesty from her. She also said she can’t be the flagbearer of everything that’s righteous.
