Don't know if the reasons are true or if it's another PR lie, but good for DP to not sign irrelevant roles and wait for substantial roles and demand the right fee. If average and overrated free platter parasite like Alia can get good roles due to nepotism, then DP and other actresses should definitely get good roles, and they should get high fee if Ranbir and others get 30-40+ Million( with the exception of khans who deserve it)just because they are male.
Also, Padmavati wasn't an author backed role. More of like supporting role and RS had an author backed role. Though it did look it was an author backed role thanks to Karna Sena and SLB publicity and due to it being the title of the movie which brought lots of buzz to DP, so she did get benefit out of it a bit before the move but RS got everything out of it when the actual move got released.
