Bollywood Actresses are Getting Paid More Than Ever Before

Posted by admin on Feb 28th, 2010 | 0 comments

Recession and its after-effects be damned, it is raining money for Bollywood babes. Post her National Award for Fashion, the talented Kangna Ranaut has decided to up her stake. She has asked for Rs. 5 crore per film for a new film to be directed by Tanvir Khan. The movie is supposed to be a love story and stars former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan’s son Chirag. This will be his Bollywood debut. Pooja Kashyap (COO, Maverick Productions) confirmed that Kangna has indeed been paid Rs 5 crore. “Kangna is a great actress. She adds a lot of value to a film. What we have paid her is fully justified.” said Pooja.

Kangna is touted as a quality performer ever since her debut in Gangster in 2006. Though the swelte girl declined to mention her fee, all reports state the obvious the gal is getting richer. However Kangna is still being paid less compared to other Bollywood actresses in the line. There was quite a commotion when Kareena Kapoor was paid Rs. 7 crore for Golmaal 3. Priyanka Chopra was paid Rs. 6 crore for Pyaar Impossible. Vidya Balan who has a fantastic track record with her films, has decided to charge upward of Rs. 6 crore for her future films. With actresses like these who have a strong presence in films with their glam appeal, x-factor and brilliant histrionics, there is no way movie producers will decline them their due.
