Alia Bhatt to explain pay parity issue with Varun Dhawan’s example!

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."
