Samatha Ruth Prabhu shares her emotions ahead of Yashoda's theatrical release.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, she shared a picture of herself, where she kept her fingers crossed, and wrote, “Extremely nervous and especially excited! One day to go. Mee andhariki Yashoda nachchalani gattiga korukuntunna. Good vibes to my directors, producer, cast and entire crew as they wait like me for your verdict tomorrow.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, she talked about women-centric films in the industry and said, “I don’t think there is a dearth of stories. Many stories are written for women or roles that are written for women on equal footing.” She added, "But the question that we really need to ask is how many people are willing to go and watch these movies? Why are these movies even categorized as ‘women-centric’? As a society, it often takes a lot of introspection to evolve. And I think we are at crossroads right now and it’s going to be a collective effort on everyone’s parts to make that change."
