Madhur Bhandarkar recently revealed that Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Kareena Kapoor Khan reduced their market prices to work with him in Fashion and Heroine respectively. The filmmaker mentioned their names whilst discussing high entourage costs.
Madhur said, “Every female actor slashed her price when they were working with me. Since, I only had a budget of â¹1.5 crore for Chandni Bar, Tabu didn’t not charge any fee for the film. She took money against Bombay or Delhi territory, and nothing else apart from that. She worked with such conviction. Raveena Tandon (Satta) and Bipasha Basu (Corporate) reduced their prices.”
Speaking about Priyanka and Kareena he said, “Even Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor slashed their fees. They didn’t charge the market price from me because they were keen on making these movies. The entire film was resting on their shoulders so everybody slashed their prices.”
