Paisa bolta hai
An industry insider reveals, “Katrina Kaif has become a sort of a lucky mascot, after all her films have done well. The actress is now getting any price she is demanding. Shree Ashtavinayak’s Blue has a 100-crore budget. When the production house asked her to do an item number, Kat initially refused, as she doesn’t want the label of an item girl. But when the makers agreed to pay her a 1.5 crore fee and offered a few more scenes, the actress accepted.” Last week, the actress signed on the dotted line.
Not an item?
Katrina confirms the development, “I am doing something very special in Blue. I wouldn’t call it an item number. I have given ten days for the film, May onwards. They require seven days for the song. The other bit will take three days.”
When asked if the price quoted in the industry circles was correct (Rs 1.5 crore), the actress agrees, “The figure you’ve quoted is pretty accurate.”
Parag Desai, the media consultant for Shree Ashtavinayak says, “We have indeed signed Katrina for Blue. We would not like to disclose the figures involved. Also, she has a proper role in the film.”
Katrina refuses C Company item
Says an industry insider, “After Blue, the actress was recently approached to do another item number for Balaji Telefilms’ next, C Company. But the actress turned it down. Money, of course, was the bone of contention. Balaji was not willing to shell out that kind of money. The deal is now off.”
Katrina agrees that she was indeed approached, “I don’t like to talk about things that I am not doing professionally. I was approached by the banner to do a song. It didn’t work out and that was that.”
