Bollywood superstar and National Award-winner Alia Bhatt, whose latest film ‘Jigra’ courted controversy has reportedly charged a whopping amount to star in it. Alia, who has proven her acting mettle with films like ‘Highway’, ‘Darlings’, and ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ among others, received mixed reactions for her latest release. That being said, she did make money on her part as an actor even though the film didn’t do well at the box office.
According to reports, Alia Bhatt charged Rs 10-15 crore for the film. This is three times more than what the film made on its opening day at the box office. The film, which is helmed by Vasan Bala, raked in Rs 4.55 crore on the opening day in India. Despite Alia’s star power, her film did not manage to garner huge footfall on the release day.
