We know that Deepika Padukone became the highest paid actress of Bollywood when she charged a whopping 10 crores for her Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Padmavati. The inside news is that Dippy was actually vying for a share of the profits. However, the industry is apparently still not welcome to the idea of sharing the profits with a female star.
They, therefore negotiated the 10 crore amount, when Deepika gave in. A leading daily reports a source as saying, "Let me tell you Deepika got that amount for Padmavati because the makers didn't want to pay her a percentage of the film's profits that she demanded. She may be in the position to demand but the industry doesn't believe in giving a share in profits to the ladies, only the male actors get that. Dips was paid 8 crores for Piku, plus a fraction of the profit. She asked for the same for Padmavati. She was denied a share in the profits and offered 10 crores flat, which she agreed to."
Thoughts?
