Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is all set to feature in Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s musical love story, Baiju Bawra. “It is Ranveer Singh who is being seriously considered for the part,” a source close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions had shared.

Deepika Padukone is not in Baiju Bawra. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Deepika won’t be playing the romantic lead opposite her beloved husband is because of the remuneration. The source in the report mentioned that the Bajirao Mastani actress wants the same remuneration as her husband. “Apparently, Deepika wants the same remuneration as her husband. Not a penny more, not a penny less,” said the source in the report.

As per the report, Sanjay Leela Bhansali “regretfully turned down her request for pay parity.” The report mentioned that a source close to Bhansali Productions said it works out for the better, in a way. The source said, “In a way, it works out for the better. Four Ranveer- Deepika films in a row from Sanjay Leela Bhansali would have been excessive, don’t you think?”

The news of Deepika’s remuneration for Baiju Bawra comes in few weeks after Kareena Kapoor Khan reportedly asks for Rs. 12 crores to play the role of Sita in Alaukik Desai’s film adaptation to the Hindu epic, Ramayana.
