An actor overestimating his worth during contract negotiations

Where’s the money, honey?

While this flamboyant actor has gained a reputation as a warm-hearted star, January was abuzz with several reports on his arrogant attitude. The talented actor, also an endorsement favourite, had been in talks with a prominent action filmmaker for a new film (which he will now feature in) and even though bits and bobs of them working together were leaked at the time, not many knew that their talks actually fell through at first.

We hear the actor demanded a whopping Rs 21 crore, which the filmmaker, who has worked with two superstars in the past, refused to pay.

Then, like a pot-boiler twist, the actor’s low-key mentor, also a filmmaker, brokered the deal. The star couldn’t say no this time and Rs 15 crore was agreed upon as a fair price. Well, that’s reasonable by Bollywood standards alright.
