Kareena Rumoured To Be Charging 12 Crores To Star In Mythological Drama & Play A Goddess
Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly going to play Goddess Sita for her next big project, which will be directed by Alaukik Desai. According to reports, the A-lister is charging Rs 12 crore for this. Is it time for the lead actresses of Bollywood to start charging like their male counterparts? We think so! If the rumours are to be believed, Bebo has increased her fees for this film.
Bollywood Hungama reported that the actress will be shooting for Veere Di Wedding 2 and another film directed by Hansal Mehta before she starts shooting for the mythological period saga. Since these will be shot in a shorter duration, the actress will be able to complete it before joining the new project.
The source said, “Sita will need at least 8-10 months of preparation, shooting and production. So, she will be totally impressed with a film at that time, but Bebo also knows that it will be her biggest work till date, as it is a retelling of Ramayana from Sita's point of view."
The source further added, "Bebo, who usually charges Rs 6-8 crore for her films, has quoted an amount of Rs. 12 crore which has upset the makers. In fact, for the time being they are revisiting their decision. And even taking the film to a young actress. But talks are on and Bebo remains the first choice."
Looking at this we cannot remain calm as it will be an epic drama to see Kareena Kapoor Khan as Sita and we know that when Bebo does something special she becomes iconic. To add, this role is a retelling of the mythological saga from a woman's POV. All the support to Bebo for asking what she wants and for playing a character whose lens is in focus.
Kareena will next be seen in Advait Chandan's Laal Singh Chaddha with Aamir Khan for the remake of Forrest Gump, which released in 1994. Forrest Gump is one of the most popular movies in Hollywood starring Tom Hanks. Kareena will also be seen in Karan Johar's Takht, which is a multi-starrer with the likes of Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Janhvi Kapoor.
