How much did Deepika Demand to pair up with Vijay ?

07/02/2014

Deepika Padukone is now the highest paid actress in all of India after delivering four back-to-back blockbusters in 2013 - Race 2, Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Ram Leela. The actress is reportedly being paid a whopping 12 Crores for each of her Bollywood projects.

It was at this juncture that the makers of Vijay 58 approached Deepika to be the leading lady of their fantasy entertainer, Deepika however shocked the team by demanding an astronomical figure to star alongside Vijay. Sources add the actress quoted Rs 1 Crore per day for a 30 days Call Sheet !

Which means the actress quoted a whooping 30 crores which is almost double the pay Ilayathalapathy Vijay receives. There is no logical way that a Kollywood movie could make profit if it offered 30 Crores as remuneration for the female lead alone.

Sources sources add, Deepika quoted such an unusual demand as she wasn't keen on signing a Tamil project at a time when she was ruling the roost in Bollywood.
