Manju Warrier, one of the most versatile actresses in the Malayalam film industry is often hailed as the Lady Superstar of Mollywood.
However, the actress has now come forward and made it clear that she does not need such titles.
Calling Lady Superstar is an insult
In a recent interview with an online channel, on the sidelines of the promotion of her new movie Footage, Manju Warrier said that several people are giving different definitions to the word Superstar.
According to Manju Warrier, she often feels insulted when people call her Lady Superstar.
"I personally feel insulted while hearing the word Lady Superstar. It is just because several people are giving their own definitions to that title. Social media platforms are filled with unwanted debates about people calling me Lady Superstar," said Manju Warrier.
She added: "I do not need any titles like Lady Superstar. I just need the love of my audiences."
Manju Warrier also added that it is not the right to classify stars according to their gender. She also added that only good content will be recognized in the film industry, and no superstars can shoulder a movie with weak content.
