It's no secret that the gender pay gap in the film industry is staggering. It wouldn't be wrong, if we said that, there is a shortage of actresses in Telugu. Anushka Shetty and Samantha are the most sought after actresses in Tollywood. There is no denying fact that Anushka and Samantha are the first choices of filmmakers.

Because they have a huge fan following not only in India even in other parts of the world. Anushka and Samantha's films will never miss out the goal of making earnings Rs 6 Cr in opening weekend collections.

Filmmakers also wouldn't step back paying a fancy price to them. Did you know, Anushka and Samantha are taking paycheck ranging between five to six crores which is equal pay to a few of the heroes in the industry.

Professionally, Samantha is basking in the glory of 'Majili' which was critically acclaimed at the box office.

On the other hand, she is busy with promotional activities of her upcoming film 'Oh Baby', which is scheduled to release sometime in June. Post 'Bhagaamathie' success, Anushka has been away from the silver screen.

Recently, she has begun the regular shoot of 'Silence' in the USA under the direction of Hemanth Madhukar.
