Deepika Padukone opens up about charging extra for collaborative appearances with Ranveer Singh

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, the dynamic power couple of Bollywood, are not just sought after for their acting prowess but also for their joint presence in the world of advertisements. In a recent interview with The Week, Deepika shared insights into their unique position in the industry.

When questioned about their fee structure for advertisements and films they do together, Deepika revealed that they charge a premium for their combined star power. She emphasized that their partnership is distinctive because it lacks the typical power imbalance often associated with celebrity couples. 

In an interview with The Week, the Jawan actress was asked if she and Ranveer Singh charge separate rates for advertisements and films together. She said, “Yes, we do charge a premium for when we come together. I think we are positioned quite uniquely. In that, there’s usually an imbalance in a power couple, but not with us. Plus, both of us have started from scratch and it’s something we are very proud of. To achieve success on merit and on one’s own terms makes us special." 

Despite charging extra for joint ventures, Deepika also disclosed that she didn't charge a fee for her cameo appearances in two of Ranveer's films, "83" and "Cirkus."

On the work front, Deepika was last seen in the action thriller Jawan which turned out to be a major commercial success. She will be next seen in the multilingual science fiction action film Kalki 2898 AD which will release on January 12, 2024. Apart from that, she will also appear in Siddharth Anand's aerial action film Fighter.
