Can you guess the actor in question?

In times when stars are known to hike their fees according to their success ration, this top actress has taken a pay cut of one crore in her next film! She is also known to charge a humongous fee for all her films and is considered to be one of the highest-paid actresses today. After signing a historical she took back a pay cheque of Rs.10 crore (approx) even after the filmmaker had given her a hit in their last film. Apparently, she had refused to cut down on her fat fees because the film was extremely demanding.

The actress, who is known to hike her price every couple of years, had raised it even further last year after she signed a Hollywood film. A filmmaker approached her for a film with one of the top actors of today but the actress was adamant about her fixed fee (even though she has done two blockbusters with him) and made it clear to him in no uncertain terms that she was in no mood to bring it down in the near future. However, when a filmmaker of critical acclaim (and some duds at the BO) approached her to play the central role, a few months ago, the actress dropped a neat one crore from her usual fees, without a murmur. The film starts next year.

Three reasons are given for why the actress slashed her fee: she was desperate to sign a film by the acclaimed filmmaker who has already directed her rival (who is doing extremely well in Hollywood) and to prove that she can act, second being that she loved the dark, sinister role and the fact that she was doing a film with an art house actor (of critical acclaim) with whom she had enjoyed working a lot in her last film. Also, it's been her dream to work with this filmmaker for years so when she got the chance she didn't want to let it go.

Whatever may be the reason, the filmmaker must be over the moon that only he (and not the other filmmakers) could get her to drop a crore and thus reduce his film's budget too!
