When Deepika Padukone-Katrina Kaif Leave Producer Shocked!

Updated: Monday, August 11, 2014, 15:13 [IST]

Bollywood actresses like Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif certainly are in the list of most sought after actresses in the industry and the two divas also know that well.

Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif have hiked their fees big time in the recent period and the small producers are feeling the heat.

It has been reported that a producer wanted to cast either Deepika or Katrina for his upcoming film but the duo's demanded fee forced the film-maker to change his mind.

"I wanted either Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif for the female lead. I quickly scampered away when I heard the price they quoted and signed another less pricey A-lister," said the producer.

It is to be mentioned, Deepika and Katrina reportedly demanded something around Rs 15 crores which apparently left the producer's mouth wide open.

However, now the producer has reportedly signed Alia Bhatt or Shraddha Kapoor as these two actresses have gained much popularity recently and have kept their fees relatively low, at least till now.

Well, it seems Bollywood actresses are no more the under-rated part of the industry and have decided to match their bank balance with their male counterparts.
