Here is the reason for that. It is heard that Anushka had demanded a whopping Rs 1.5 crores as her package which the producers found to be too high. Incidentally, she had charged Rs 2 lakhs per day for ‘Vedam’ and if it is a big banner venture, then the number of days would be more meaning it will cross even Rs 1.5 crores.
However, the makers were not too comfortable with the idea and they went in for Ileana. Market pundits say that the right package for even the best of heroines should be around Rs 80 lakhs and it cannot stretch upto Rs 1 crore given the current conditions.
