Keerthy Suresh Opens Up On Movie Remuneration Talks

Keerthy Suresh doesn�t speak unless there�s something worth saying, and this time, it�s about pay. The award-winning actress recently addressed the hot topic of remuneration in the film industry, and her comments have sparked fresh debate. Instead of skirting around the subject, Keerthy chose to speak plainly about the difference in how actors and actresses are paid, and why that gap needs a hard look.

While she didn�t name any specific projects or figures, Keerthy made it clear she�s aware of the disparity. �We put in the same effort, the same hours, and face the same pressure. So naturally, the conversation about fair pay has to happen,� she said during a panel interaction. Her words reflect what many actresses have hinted at for years, but few have directly stated in public.

She also emphasized that talent and market value are not always balanced fairly. According to her, an actor's contribution to a film's emotional and commercial weight should reflect in their paycheck, too. �It�s not just about star power anymore. The audience is smart, they care about performance and presence, and so should producers,� she noted.

Keerthy�s statement hasn�t come with any drama or finger-pointing, but it has done its job: it�s opened up the floor. As more stars find the confidence to address pay issues head-on, the industry might finally be nudged toward transparency. Until then, Keerthy�s words serve as a quiet yet firm reminder that respect and fairness are also part of the script.
