This has also started to be considered. In the last ten years, many such films have been made in the Hindi cinema industry, in which female actresses are in the lead role. Importantly, these films have been liked by the people and have also become super hits. Many films have even entered the 100 crore club. But such a trend has not been seen in South cinema. There are many films in South Cinema, which have crossed the 100 crore mark, but almost all the films have become famous because of the heroes.

But, now the situation is slowly changing, for the first time a South Indian film has crossed the 100 crore mark and the lead role in that film is played by an actress.
