After Padmaavat entering Rs 200 cr, Shahid Kapoor's next fetches stagg

While Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone
have earlier enjoyed 100-crore profit
earners and DP has even been in 200-crore
moolah-makers, for Shahid Kapoor, the
success of Padmaavat has opened up an
entirely new phase in his career.
Never a part of such a spectacular success,
Shahid, we are told, now plans to hike
his market price. But before that, there is
Shree Narayan Singh's Batti Gul Meter Chalu
which is currently being shot in
Uttarakhand. Suddenly this film based on a
social cause has become a hot property.
Says a source close to the project, "It's true
after Padmaavat, Batti Gul Meter Chalu is a
much bigger project than it was before.
Distributors are willing to pay a much
higher price for a Shahid solo-starrer than
they were earlier. Shahid has done many
solo starrers before, but nothing compared
to what Padmaavat has done at the BO.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu is suddenly a much
bigger film.
Prernaa Arora who co-produces Batti Gul
Meter Chalu is all praise for Shahid. "We did
not sign him for how saleable he was. We
signed him because he's one of our finest
star-actors and perfect for the role in our
film. The dedication with which he had has
prepared for his role has bowled us over.
We would love to work with him again.
Has Padaamavat made a difference?
Says Arora, "Of course Padmaavat has made
a difference. But we would have been just
as happy with our decision to work
with Shahid even if Padmaavat had not
enhanced his market value.

And here I saw people cribbing about how Shahid was shortchanged 😆
