Priyanka Chopra’s turn towards Hollywood seems to have turned up lucrative. With film projects in both Hollywood and Bollywood, as well as a starring role on a broadcast show and a handful of lucrative endorsements, Chopra has managed to parlay that fame into quite the paycheck. According to Forbes, she made $10 million between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017, making her Bollywood's seventh highest-paid star. Well that’s a whooping amount of 64 crore. Despite such huge earnings she trails Deepika Padukone, who made $11 million.

Now her competitor Deepika, has taken a break from Hollywood due to Padmavati which is a periodic film that tells the story of Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi ruler, who was infatuated with Rajput queen Padmavati. There were rumors of Deepika being paid more as compared to her co-actors in the film. And now it has been confirmed that Deepika will take home a whopping Rs. 13 crore, while Ranveer and Shahid will share equal digits that read close to Rs. 10 crores respectively.

According to sources, “There are a lot of speculations about the pay structure of ‘Padmavati’. However, Sanjay Sir was clear that the film belongs to Deepika. The film is mounted on its female protagonist Deepika Padukone with the title being a testimony of the actress’ investment in the project.” This reverse pay scale of Padmavati sets a new precedent in Bollywood, owing to Deepika’s stardom and primacy of her role.
