Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Maa Inti Bangaaram has achieved a major milestone at the box office. The actress's latest release has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide, and it has emerged as the first female-led Telugu film to enter the coveted Rs 100 crore club. To celebrate the success of the film, Samantha shared an emotional message on social media alongside a candid video. Samantha celebrates Maa Inti Bangaaram's success Taking to her Instagram, she posted a clip that showed the exact moment filmmaker Raj Nidimoru surprised her with the news. In the now viral clip, Raj approaches the actor with an iPad and asks, "Do you want to see something cool?" After unlocking the device, Samantha is filled with joy to see the poster announcing the film's worldwide collection. "We did 100 crores," she said. Also Read: Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Maa Inti Bangaaram sequel in works, Raj Nidimoru confirms Samantha shares a heartfelt note Alongside the video, Samantha wrote, "Before the release of Maa Inti Bangaram, I remember obsessing over one thing: Were people even talking about the film? Were the assets we were putting out reaching people? Did they know this film existed?" She further added, "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.' That was the perception before Maa Inti Bangaram released."

Baby's lifetime earning According to Samantha, "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. And I hope this is the beginning of something bigger. I hope that the next time someone calls an exhibitor in a B or C centre and asks about a female-led film, the answer isn't an instant no. Maybe it's, 'Let's see.' Because the truth is, we will never really know." Also Read: Maa Inti Bangaaram director confirms Samantha Ruth Prabhu is expecting her first child with Raj Nidimoru

<h2>How he recovered from the trauma</h2><p>He also revealed that the same person who molested him was also the reason why he was able to come out of the trauma. "It's weird, but the person who caused my trauma also ended up helping me heal. We actually became good friends. This is a secret that even my children and my parents don't know--only Gautami knows about it," he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Even today, talking about it brings back the trauma, but I'm very happy that, because of everything that happened, I no longer have any fear of the LGBTQ community. Whenever I meet people like Sufi, I feel close to them. I don't feel any fear, inhibition or anything negative, even though I may not fully understand them. That person wasn't a bad person. He was simply curious and influenced by teenage hormones. We were both teenagers. He tried very hard to make things right with me. No one should ever have to go through something like this. But somewhere along the way, I learnt to appreciate everything in life. He did everything in his power to help me overcome the trauma," Kapoor added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kangana-ranaut-grills-ram-kapoor-in-lock-upp-2-promo-questions-his-motive-for-joining-the-show-1782959735526"><strong>Kangana Ranaut grills Ram Kapoor in Lock Upp 2 promo</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
