This is why Deepika Padukone is getting paid more than Ranveer Singh in their next film 'Padmavati'

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati has been in the news for quite some time owing to its casting rumours, but by the looks of it, it seems the maker has made up his mind and it’s safe to say that the film is going to be starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor.

Apart from managing this terrific casting, Padmavati has also set a favourable precedent for many Bollywood directors and producers to follow.

In an industry where it’s norm for an actor to get more money than an actress, it’s quite refreshing to know that Padmavati’s leading actress Deepika Padukone is the one who’s getting paid the most.

Confirming the same is none other than Ranveer Singh, who is playing a negative character in the film. Talking to DNA, the actor did not deny that he was getting paid lesser than Padukone and added, "Let me put it this way, if I am the leading man of a film, and if the filmmaker is asking me to support him in a certain aspect so as not to burden the budget of the film, I will do whatever I can to support his vision."
