Veena
Malik
seems
to
have
become
the
highest
paid
actress
of
Kannada
film
industry.
The
Pakistani
girl,
who
is
making
her
Sandalwood
debut
in
Dirty
Picture:
Silk
Sakkath
Maga,
has
received
a
whopping
pay
cheque
to
star
in
the
Kannada
version
of
Silk
Smitha's
biopic.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Veena
Malik
demanded
the
script
before
discussing
about
the
film.
After
going
through
it,
she
was
impressed
and
gave
nod
instantly
to
act
in
Dirty
Picture:
Silk
Sakkath
Maga.
The
makers
of
the
film
convinced
her
to
act
in
the
Silk
Smitha's
biopic
by
paying
Rs
85
lakhs,
which
is
the
highest
ever
paid
amount
for
an
actress
in
Kannada
film
industry.
However,
it
is
believed
that
Nayantara
got
Rs
50
plus
lakhs
for
Upendra's
Super,
which
is
now
the
second
best
paid
remuneration
in
Sandalwood
and
she
is
followed
by
Ramya,
who
receives
Rs
40
lakhs.
Dirty
Picture:
Silk
Sakkath
Maga
is
produced
by
Venkatappa
and
also
features
his
son
Akshay
in
the
lead
role.
The
Kannada
movie
is
not
a
remake
of
Vidya
Balan's
The
Dirty
Picture
as
it
is
a
different
take
on
Silk
Smitha.
The
shooting
of
the
film
will
take
off
on
May
12.
