Barrister Babu: Did Makers Decide To Retain Aurra As Devoleena Charged Whopping Amount?
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.
