Recently,
there
were
reports
that
Devoleena
Bhattacharjee
was
approached
to
replace
Aurra
Bhatnagar
in
Barrister
Babu.
It
was
said
that
the
show
will
be
taking
a
leap,
post
which,
Devoleena
will
be
seen
playing
grown-up
Bondita.
However,
the
producer
Sumeet
Mittal
clarified
that
they
have
no
plans
to
replace
Aurra.
But
as
per
the
latest
report,
Devoleena
was
indeed
approached
by
the
makers,
but
they
had
to
drop
the
plan
as
she
charged
a
whopping
amount.
As
per
a
Pinkvilla
report,
the
makers
approached
Devoleena
as
the
new
guidelines,
due
to
Coronavirus,
mentioned
that
children
were
not
allowed
on
the
sets
for
precautionary
measures.
Apparently,
Devoleena,
gained
huge
popularity
after
doing
Bigg
Boss,
hence,
she
didn't
want
to
settle
for
less.
Due
to
the
budget
issues
and
after
getting
to
know
that
safety
measures
have
to
be
taken
on
the
sets,
the
makers
decided
to
retain
Aurra.
A
source
was
quoted
by
Pinkvilla
as
saying,
"Given
the
budget
constraints
currently
the
following
lockdown
and
with
broadcasters
slashing
at
last
30
percent
of
the
production
budget,
the
makers
were
left
in
dilemma
over
the
remuneration.
Hence,
they
decided
to
speak
to
the
concerned
authorities
and
after
ensuring
that
complete
safety
measures
would
be
taken,
came
to
the
conclusion
of
retaining
Aurra
as
their
lead
and
not
tweak
the
script,
as
per
initial
plans."
The
source
further
added,
"Devoleena
was
paid
around
90K
when
she
left
Saath
Nibhana
Saathiya,
and
now
with
the
popularity
she
has
received
since
BB
13,
the
actress
didn't
want
to
settle
for
any
less."
Meanwhile,
the
cast
and
crew
members
will
apparently
resume
work
from
June
15
or
20,
2020.
