Bollywood actress, Taapsee Pannu, who starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki, unveiled her remuneration for the film.
During an interview, Pannu revealed that she was not paid enough for the star-studded film.
While spilling insights about the industry, the Thappad actress explained that she tends to do mainstream films like Judwa and Dunki for money, but the situation is reverse. She admitted being paid more for movie like, Haseen Dilruba.
“Funnily, people think I do films like Judwaa or Dunki for money, that I get paid a lot. But no, it is the opposite– I get paid to do more for films that are headlined by me, like a Haseen Dilruba, and other films don’t really pay me much because they feel they are doing a favour by taking me up in that kind of a film.”
“They feel, There is already a big hero, why do we need anybody else for that? I fight these notions on a daily basis”, told Taapsee to the Screen.
The 37-year-old star also mentioned: “Now even the audience knows that heroes decide who the heroine is going to be in most of their films, until you have a very big, super successful director, who has his or her own audience. Then the director will take a call no matter what.”
Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki featured some extremely talented names including SRK, Vicku Kaushal, Boman Irani, Dia Mirza, Satish Shah and many others.
