There are plenty of other people SRK can work with like Vidya, Kajol, Kriti, Aneet, Shefali or Shraddha. Or even a debutant. He has a close bond with Deepika; if she was that problematic, he could have blacklisted her, like he unfortunately did with Aishwarya.Originally posted by: Sorry_Bol
Has SRK liked or replied to the shameless PR stunt yet? Doubt he will, inka Baap hai woh. He pretty much replies to the smallest Celeb who wishes him.
Don't want to spend too much time on the Cameo Queen but she doesn't have anywhere close to the demands with her Bollywood "Friends" as she did with the South Film-makers. Yes, the vanity vans are still required but her whole entourage doesn't travel with her on overseas shoots or get 5 star accommodation. Neither does she get close to the remuneration she demanded here.
These Bollywood stars have historically looked down upon regional industries and they Only used to do a regional film if they got paid 3x+ their going rate and even then thought they were doing them a huge favor. Deepika is still living in that era. But the telugu industry considers itself on par, if not better than Bollywood today and refuses to be looked down upon or be strong armed. Deepika also figured she had the upper hand it being a sequel which they couldn't make without her.
As for SRK what choice does he have? Anushka is retired, Kat has been busy trying to start a family, Kareena he has some issues with, Alia looks too young, Kangana- door se Namaste, PC not allowed. Just leaves Deepika & Taapsee. Kya kare bechara?
She asked to be paid more even in Padmavaat
