Keerthy Suresh Opens Up About Actress Salaries

There’s been a lot of noise lately about how heroines work, what hours they put in, and now, how much they’re getting paid. It kind of started rolling again after Deepika Padukone’s viral take on sticking to an 8-hour workday. And just when people thought the topic would cool down, Keerthy Suresh walked in with her own perspective, and honestly, it wasn’t what many expected.

While promoting Revolver Rita, Keerthy spoke about salaries without turning it into a fight. She said she never saw it as discrimination when actresses earn less than actors. According to her, the industry is pretty straightforward: the market decides. If someone has higher demand, they get paid more. That’s it. She even mentioned she never felt bad or slighted about earning less than male stars because, in her view, that’s how the system works and she’s okay with it.

Talking about the film itself, Keerthy looked more relaxed and cheerful. She described Revolver Rita as a story that happens within 24 hours, quick, sharp, and always moving. She hinted at plenty of twists packed into that one day. Not the typical slow-burn thriller, but something that keeps playing with your expectations while still feeling fun.

The movie drops this Friday in Telugu and Tamil, and the buzz is already picking up.
