Deepika opens up about her remuneration at the Padmavati 3D trailer launch!

Actress Deepika Padukone who plays the title role of the Queen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali ’s Padmavati attended the 3D Trailer launch of the film. It is now revealed that the film will be out in 3D which is amazing and the buzz for the film just tripled after the news went out! Ranveer Singh , Shahid Kapoor , and Deepika are looking surreal and the trailer is outstanding. One must witness the film themselves to take in its grandeur. At the trailer launch, Deepika opened up about her remuneration and other interesting topics.

Deepika said, “Talking about my remuneration is not exciting for me. I am confident and comfortable with what I am paid.”

“But let me tell you something and this is something I am really proud of is the fact that people like them (co-producer Viacom and director Bhansali) have invested this kind of money on a film like this and poster-like this…that for me is hugely encouraging… this is the biggest film that Indian cinema has seen not in just terms of scale but in terms of budget and resources, and what is the poster behind it? For me that is the turning point for Indian cinema,” she added.

Talking about her unibrow look in the film, the actress said, “Women have been conditioned to think of beauty in a certain way and I am glad about what we did with Padmavati and my look. It takes immense amount of belief, not just for me but for my director as well, to take that risk. Padmini’s beauty is beyond physical beauty. It is her soul, spirit and what she meant to her people. She is worshipped.”

Deepika even spoke about the challenges faced while performing the role. She also compared it with Mastani, her character from Bajirao Mastani. She said, “Her (Rani Padmini’s) battles were very different. Her power and energy is very different. She doesn’t go out to the battlefield. She doesn’t have a sword or armour, here the spirit is similar. With Mastani, if I have to show a warrior princess, it is easier for me to have a sword, get a battlefield, do horse-riding, and show exactly going to war is actually like.”

“But how do you fight so much more than just a war? You’re standing up for your tradition, culture, heritage, passion, and love, there is so much that is going on, how do you stand up for all that, just by emoting without any tools. That is what I found extremely challenging for me, with Padmavati,” the lady added.
