Janhvi Kapoor has been cast as the main heroine in NTR's 30th film and expressed excitement to begin shooting and working with her favorite hero.
However, convincing her was challenging as she was particular about her pay and demanded Rs 5 crore for this pan-Indian project.
Kiara Advani, who plays Ram Charan's female lead in director Shankar’s movie, was paid Rs 4 crore plus GST, while Janhvi Kapoor received more.
To secure major Bollywood actresses, producers must invest at least Rs 5 crore, which has become the starting point for top heroines.
While Tollywood actresses typically earn between Rs 1 and Rs 3 crore, Bollywood actresses demand between Rs 5 and Rs 10 crore. (Deepika Padukone is getting more than Rs 10 crore for ‘Project K’).
