Madhuri Dixit’s Fees: Unrealistic To Be True!

Star-secretary Rikku aias Rakesh Nath is quoted in a newspaper as saying that Madhuri Dixit would act in a film provided she got her price of Rs. 5 crore. If true, Madhuri and Rikku seem to be far removed from reality because it seems an impossibility that anyone would pay a 40-plus  actress that kind of money. To add to the unlikelihood, Madhuri’s comeback film, Aaja Nachle, was a box-office bomb. Frankly, if Madhuri or her secretary feel, actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra or Katrina Kaif command Rs. 5 crore per film, they are grossly mistaken because none of them has ever got paid that kind of a fee. And if young and saleable actresses like the above named have not been able to command remunerations of Rs. 5 crore, it would be foolhardiness to expect that a producer would pay that amount to an actress who is well past her prime.
