Industry cries foul on star heroine’s tantrums

Bollywood actress made her place in the film industry ever since she came into the line of work but her movies like ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ have established the fact that the actress is at her peak and there’s no going down now. Keeping this in mind, there has been talk that Ranaut has become very expensive after her last hit.

However, the actress cleared the air and said, “I did two actress’ work and got paid only for one actress’ salary.” We’re wondering if what is being considered as some mindless tantrums after a huge success is actually moot. Taking into consideration some of the earnings of similar male actors, like Aamir Khan who received a 33 percent of the profit made by PK, the actress’ demands for fee seem negligent.

The disparity between the pay of the male and female actors has been ever present and statistics suggest that male actors have been earning almost 5 times the amount their female counterparts have been getting, on the grounds that their role in the film is more than that of the actress’. While that logic might work for films like ‘Dabangg’, it’s just sad when it is applied to female centric films like ‘Mary Kom’ and ‘Queen’.
