Deepika Padukone Controversy: High Demands and Entourage
This news comes shortly after Ranveer’s wife, Deepika Padukone, was reportedly ousted from Kalki 2. Reports claimed the actress had requested a 25 per cent fee hike and insisted on a 7-hour work shift. Bollywood Hungama highlighted that her entourage of 25 people became a point of contention.
“Deepika’s team is a big one with almost 25 people travelling with her on the sets. They demanded a five-star accommodation and reimbursement for food through the shoot for her entourage. Why should the producers pay for the stay and food of an actor, over and above the fees? This is an issue that a lot of Hindi producers also face," a source told the portal.
Despite negotiations, Deepika reportedly stood firm on her demands, sparking wider discussion online about the growing costs associated with Bollywood stars.
