After Deepika, Priyanka Chopra demands it

Mumbai, July 14: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has repeatedly been in the news for trying to be the first actress to demand profit share from her movies.

She did so with 'Finding Fanny' (which did not find any fate at the Box Office) and tried so again with 'Padmaavat', but was quieten with fee hike.

And now her fellow competitor Priyanka Chopra seems to have demanded a hike for her next film ('Bharat' but) 'The Sky Is Pink', which is being directed by Shonali Bose and will star Zaira Wasim and Farhan Akhtar too. She too is in the same situation where Deepika once was, as discussions are being held about the profit-share.

A source told Mid-Day, "Shonali Bose's film banks on Priyanka and Zaira Wasim, who plays her daughter in the movie. Priyanka inferred that if she needed to make this project beneficial, she couldn't mandate her regular pay. In such a sketch, she thought it would be better to take a share of the film's cut after it has done well. This is the first time a Bollywood actress will be doing this. So far, we have usually seen male actors demand a cut of the profits since they draw in the money as well."

"The topic has so far been hinted at with one of the producers. The profit cut is yet to be finalized. Before the film is officially announced, the respective parties are expected to come to a harmony on the same, following which she will sign on the freckled line," adds the source.

If things go well, which it looks like it might, then Priyanka Chopra will be the first female, an actress, who will get her profit-share for a Bollywood film.
