Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan |
Presently, Alia Bhatt is enjoying the success of Raazi,
which she shouldered herself. The flick turned out to not only be a critically
acclaimed movie but a box-office hit (crossed Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic
box-office) as well.
When a daily asked Alia about competition with the existing
crop of leading ladies, the actress specified that she is not competing with
anyone else. She also shared that the minute you start believing that you
deserve all this then there's a problem.
Pay parity in Bollywood has been a topic of wide discussion
with Sonam Kapoor going on the record about how her film Veere Di Wedding
wasn't issued a huge budget like Dishoom (starring Varun Dhawan and John
Abraham). When Alia was questioned about pay parity, the actress took Varun's
example and revealed, "Investing money in a film is directly co-related to
the people you are bringing to the theatre. I’m not delusional that the same
number of viewers who go to watch Varun’s movies will come to see my work. He
has a wider reach than me. That’s why I can’t expect that the same amount of
money, which is invested in his solo- starrers, is invested in mine, too. Also,
it’s the subject that makes a film viable. We can’t be categorical about
everything because every actor and movie is different."
Lastly when a daily questioned Alia on whether she will be
willing to reduce her fees for a film she wants to be a part of, the actress
disclosed, "Never say never, but I won’t let go of a movie that I like
because of remuneration. I’ll find a way around it. I’ll still do it because
the emotional attachment to my work is way more than the monetary one."
