After receiving severe criticism for demanding too much remuneration, actress Samantha has now got into a defensive mode. Samantha has recently entered the ivy league of actresses in Telugu cinema who demand 1 crore remuneration but the actress brushes all such news saying that money is only a byproduct to her.

Ileana was the first heroine to demand 1 crore in Tollywood when she was on top of her acting but she took a pay cut later after her market fall. Later, Anusha and Trisha crossed this golden landmark after enacting in Tamil and Telugu movies. After Magadheera, even Kajal Agarwal hiked her remuneration exorbitantly and Tamanna is no exception after sharing screen space with all top heroes in Tollywood and Kollywood. 

Freshly, Samantha has joined the elite club of 1 crore remuneration. However, the actress denies all reports saying that she’s not in this elite club. Samantha further says that she’s happy with what she’s been offered and looking forward to more movies and better roles. Samantha made her Telugu cinema debut with ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ and impressed all. She got better with Brindavanam and her career graph took a new leap with Dookudu and also increased her fan base.  With Samantha’s fresh statement of not charging 1 crore remuneration, budget movie producers have take a breather and approach her.
