Hollywood actress, Sydney Sweeney is said to be negotiating an astronomical salary in one of the Bollywood films, a sum that has left even Sweeney, according to sources, in disgust. The offer, which is reported to have been an unprecedented 530 crore (or about $63 million) comes with a lead role in what is being billed as one of the costliest Indian cinema projects.
The enormous price has created a scramble of guesses and exaltation with reports of the deal involving considerable brand sponsorship deals as well. Although the star representatives remain silent, the sheer scale of the number is indicative of a possible disruption in the entire world film industry, where the financial strength of Bollywood is not only beginning to rival Hollywood.
Bollywood Unprecedented Offer
This historical proposal is the clear sign of the desire of Bollywood to produce movies with a really international flavor. The quoted deal has a minimum ₹415 crore acting fee of Sweeney and another 115-crore sponsorship deal. This arrangement is aimed at exploiting the huge popularity and world brand strength of Sweeney to have a broader international market, especially in the Western markets.
The movie has been said to be a cross-cultural love movie, and the actress appears as an American celebrity who falls in love with an Indian star. The production will be held in different foreign destinations, such as New York, London, and Paris, which once again underlines the global character of the project.
Sydney Sweeney’s Shock and Hollywood’s Reaction
According to the sources who were close to Sydney Sweeney, she was shocked in the beginning and was also cautious about the offer. Although she has several projects in Hollywood, the magnitude of this fiscal offer is an opportunity of a lifetime. The information is announced amid some Internet gossip that Sweeney was cold-shouldered in Hollywood because of her political standpoints, but it is all mere guesses without any factual presentation.
Whether the reasons are right or wrong, this step may be a strategic one on the part of the actress, as it may expand her to the giant Indian diaspora and beyond. The offer that was reported does not only bring out the financial strength that the Indian film industry has been able to gain, but its readiness to spend heavily to get an A-list international talent.
