After having wowed audiences in 2007 with hits like Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome, Katrina Kaif clinched a six crore, two film deal with Studio 18 in February 2008.
More recently, Shree Ashtavinayak agreed to pay Katrina a whopping Rs 1.5 crore for a short role in their under production thriller Blue. The role, that includes an item song, required 10 days of shooting.
Katrina's paycheck in Blue reportedly inspired Kareena Kapoor to demand a whopping Rs 6 crore from Shree Ashtavinayak for her next film with them, reneging on the price negotiated between them earlier. The film directed by Rumi Jaffery features Kareena and John Abraham in lead roles.
Kareena and Shree Ashtavinayak are working under a three film deal, of which Jab We Met was the first.
Parag Desai, media consultant for Ashtavinyak denies that the deal between Kareena and Shree Ashtavinayak is being re-negotiated.
"We have signed Kareena after JWM for a three films deal, so revising the price is totally out of the question. It's just baseless rumors doing the rounds," he says.
Aishwarya Rai became the highest paid Bollywood actress recently, after she negotiated a Rs 4 Crore paycheck for her role in the forthcoming Sci-Fi thriller Robot opposite Rajnikant.
