Priyanka Chopra is set to earn a groundbreaking Rs. 30 crores for her role as the female lead in S S Rajamouli's untitled jungle adventure, making her the highest-paid female actor in Hindi cinema.
This fee, reportedly lower than her initial demand, was finalized after extensive negotiations between her team and the filmmakers.
Sources suggest that the delay in announcing Priyanka's involvement in the project was due to her firm stance on her fee, highlighting the growing trend of women demanding equal pay in the industry.
"Why should only male actors get double-digit salaries?" a source close to the negotiations stated.
The film, which stars Mahesh Babu as a desi Rambo, is set to feature intense jungle action and is expected to be shot in Kenya and India.
Priyanka's participation in this high-budget project cements her position as the highest-paid Indian actress.
