Usually, a heroine who delivers back-to-back hits sees her remuneration increasing with every film. In many cases, producers even offer a blank cheque and ask successful actresses to quote their price. But will producers offer crores to a heroine who has been giving flops?
This question is currently being widely discussed in Tollywood.
The actress in question is said to be a flop heroine. She still has some craze, but she hasn’t delivered a solid success in recent times. In fact, she has reportedly been giving consecutive flops for the last two years.
Surprisingly, she has allegedly been paid a remuneration of â¹2.5 crore for a new film.
This has become a major talking point in the industry. Many are wondering why such a huge amount was offered to a heroine who is going through a series of flops.
What makes it even more interesting is that the film features a big star hero. Normally, heroines don’t get much bargaining power when acting opposite top stars.
Just getting the opportunity to act alongside a star hero is considered a big break, especially when they are facing flops.
In such situations, actresses usually accept whatever remuneration is offered. But in this case, reports say the heroine has been paid a whopping â¹2.5 crore.
Industry insiders believe there could be two reasons behind this move. One possibility is that the makers want the actress to be available for the shoot whenever required, without any scheduling issues.
The second possibility is that the makers deliberately leaked this big remuneration figure to create publicity for the film.
Interestingly, despite being a big-star project, the film hasn’t generated the expected buzz so far. Perhaps that is why such large numbers are being circulated, possibly as part of a promotional strategy to draw attention to the project.
