Ileana D’ Cruz needs no introduction to the ardent followers of Telugu Movie Industry. The Kick girl, who is currently working alongside the Kollywood stalwarts like Shankar and Vijay in Nanban, is in the rumor news now. Well! A grapevine in Kollywood reports that Ileana has bagged a hefty paycheck for her role in Nanban. Nanban is the much-expected remake of the Hindi blockbuster 3 Idiots. This is Shankar’s first remake project and the first with Vijay in his glamorous direction career. The sources close to the production unit of the movie have revealed that the numbers of Ileana’s salary are nothing shorter than seven digits. Yes! If we believe those sources, then Ileana has received a whooping salary of around 1.25 Cr for the stardom role in the much-anticipated remake of the 3 Idiots.
However, the sources close to Ileana have not revealed any details about her salary. Even she did not reveal the actual numbers during a recent press meet. On questioning about the speculations of her whooping salary, she followed the celebrities’ unique style of claiming any uncomfortable news as rumor. However, she was firm when she told the reporters that she gets what she deserves and gets nothing more and nothing less.
With this whooping 1.25 Cr salary, she tops the remuneration chart, overtaking the senior female stars like Trisha Krishnan and Anushka. In fact, it seems like she has received such a fat paycheck not only for Nanban in Tamil, but also for Shakthi in Telugu. Even though she and the sources close to her deny these reports, pundits in the southern industries confirm the news. They also reveal that, currently, Ileana is riding high in the southern industry and she has almost certainly achieved the ‘Numero Uno’ status!
The news does not end here and it gets interesting too. Even though the Nanban girl has bagged a whooping sum of money as her salary, she has made a big cut in her pay for her first movie in Bollywood. According to the Bollywood sources, Ileana has just received 50 Lakhs, which is less than the half of what she gets down the south. This surprising discount is for Barfee, in which she stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Sources say that this pay cut move of Ileana is a smart one as it is just her debut venture. However, it seems like Ileana is confident of making into the big list of Bollywood too!
