opposite a superstar
So hua yeh ki our maverick director, who's known for his unique language to cinema he presents, produces or directs, has been putting together a big film, with a superstar. The male actor, who has reigned over the last few decades, hit a rough patch recently when his last few films didn't perform as expected. While the big announcement is still due, the actor and the director who have wanted to collaborate on several films in the past but couldn't do it, have finally agreed on this project. The film requires two female leads opposite the superstar, in two different age brackets.
For the younger actress' role, the team needed someone in the late 30s and approached this superstar actress, who's known for her commercial and acting prowess. The heroine, who's known to be a diva, heard the story and loved it. But what she did later left everyone shocked. She asked for a humongous pay, to the tune of Rs 9 crore, which is almost double her actual figure that she quotes for other films. The team feels getting her on board will only accentuate and amplify the film's reach so they are still discussing on the modalities and checking if the actress is ready to step in, for a little less than what she asked for. But from what we hear, the actress and her team will mostly have the last say and get what they want!
