Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Hefty 12 Crore Demand Led To Kangana Ranaut Bagging The Role Of ‘Sita’
By Kangana Ranaut revealed scoop about her next venture ‘The Incarnation – SITA’ on Tuesday. This epic drama is composed by Baahubali franchise writer KV Vijayendra Prasad. The reports of Kangana getting the role comes right after the news of Kareena Kapoor Khan demanding a fee of Rs 12 crore for the same. Well now it feels like Kareena’s loss is Kangana’s profit.
What is the controversy about?
Kareena has unapologetically mentioned how just a few years ago nobody would talk about a man or woman actually getting equal pay in a movie. Things are changing as now a lot of them being vocal about how biased the system is towards male actors. The actress further added that she always makes it quite clear as to what she wants. To her it is about asking for the right pay but it is about being respectful towards women and she feels that things are changing, hence her demand was fair enough. Well we say if men can charge that much, why can’t women do the same?
Speaking about the period drama, director Alaukik Desai said in a statement :
“Universe does help those who surrender to it with belief. What was a mirage, is now clarity. A dream of a pious character never explored is now a reality. I am ecstatic to bring Kangana Ranaut on board as SITA. This pious journey will change the course of how we perceive our mythology.”
Much to the surprise of the audience, writer KV Vijayendra Prasad, had previously nominated Kangana Ranaut to essay the role of ‘Sita’. ‘Sita’ will be a VFX heavy project where Kangana reportedly will undergo extensive training for almost 8 to 10 months. Producer Saloni Sharma said :
“As a woman, I couldn’t be happier in welcoming Ms Kangana Ranaut on board our VFX magnum opus, ‘The Incarnation Sita’. Kangana symbolizes the spirit and essence of the Indian woman – fearless, daunting and daring. It’s time we stepped in to celebrate equality in every respect.”
