Did R Madhavan ask for a huge amount for Fanney Khan?

Ever since Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra pronounced that he is making a film titled Fanney Khan with Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead, the inquisitiveness of the admirers has gone onto some other level.

Earlier, there were rumors that R Madhavan will be romancing Aishwarya in the movie. And then yesterday, the directer explained that it's Rajkummar Rao who is on board for the movie.

R Madhavan had told that he opted about because of date issues. He told, "I loved the script and was really keen to be part of an interesting ensemble like Fanney Khan, unfortunately I couldn't commit to the project due to date issues. I wish the team of Fanney Khan all the luck."

Now, as per a report in a famous daily, Madhavan questioned for a whopping amount for the role and that's why the makers roped in Rajkummar.

A source was previously quoted telling, “Fanney Khan marks the directorial debut of Atul Manjrekar, who has been a part of the ad world and is a long-time associate of Mehra. For the last couple of weeks the producers, Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, Bhushan Kumar and Prernaa Arora along with Aishwarya have been locked in a bitter struggle to find the right hero opposite the actress. There was a choice between Madhavan and RajKummar Rao with Aishwarya and Prernaa on one side opting for Rao and Mehra insisting on Madhavan. Ash, who likes to be involved in each and every aspect of a film, and Prernaa wanted the younger Rao to romance the actress in the film while Mehra was extremely impressed by Madhavan’s acting abilities. The discussions kept going on till the solution was finally cracked late on Wednesday afternoon – and the answer was Madhavan!”
