"The government's decision to form a special cell to look into the complaints of alleged sexual exploitation in the industry is a welcome move. Like everywhere, there are a few bad people in the industry, but overall, things are fine in the industry," Samantha added. The Akkineni actress worked in several films in her eight year career, in both Telugu and Tamil languages.

Mahanati, the much anticipated biopic on legendary actress Savitri, in which Samantha played a major role, will be in theatres tomorrow.
