When Shruti Haasan made her debut in films, she did not have much luck initially as her films failed at the box-office.
However, the success of ‘Gabbar Singh’ in Tollywood changed her fortunes and she became a star heroine with big hits like ‘Yevadu, Balupu and Race Gurram.’
She tasted similar success in Tamil too. While Bollywood proved to be disappointing in terms of commercial success, she still has four big projects on hand.
Naturally, such a successful heroine would also demand premium remuneration. Our Tollywood producers tend to spend astronomical amounts on our heroes, but bargain over the heroine’s remuneration.
One Tollywood producer recently approached Shruti Haasan for the role of heroine opposite a young hero. Shruti quoted Rs 1 crore and 30 lakhs. Hearing this, the producer felt a slight pain in his chest and left.
What else did he expect from a star heroine at the top of her profession?
