BizAsia has learnt that Padukone will be getting a whopping Rs 8 crores for the film, which is allegedly the largest amount that an actress has been paid for a movie till date. Much was said when the actress appeared to favour Bhansali over Karan Johar in the Shuddhi' versus Bajirao Mastani' dilemma and it now seems her loyalty to the former has very much paid off.
Ranveer Singh is said to have been signed as male lead in the film and rumours also suggested that Priyanka Chopra will also be a part of it.
