Sanjay Leela Bhanshali's upcoming flick Padmavati has been making headlines lately due to a number of reasons. Firstly it was about who will play Deepika Padukone's husband in the film, then it was about SLB looking for Ranveer Singh's replacement when Shahid Kapoor was finalised for DP's husband's part. Now that the issues have apparently been resolved, a fresh rumour has been making the rounds these days. 

For those uninitiated, Deepika recently made it to the Forbes list of highest paid actresses and is reportedly the highest paid Bollywood actress as well. Now, rumour has it that Deepika has hiked her fee and has been paid a whopping sum of Rs 11 crore for SLB's Padmavati.

The reasons why these rumours appeared believable were quite a few. Firstly she is the only Indian actress to make it to the top ten in the Forbes' list. Secondly, DP has bagged a Hollywood project opposite Vin Diesel and will soon be making her Hollywood debut with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. Thirdly, Deepika has delivered back to back hits in Bollywood as well. 

So several eyebrows were raised when the word broke out that she's been paid Rs 11 crore for Padmavati. Now, putting an end to all the rumours, filmmaker Bhansali's spokesperson confirmed that DP has not been paid that amount. As per a report on the Times of India, SLB's spokesperson has refuted the rumours calling them false and baseless, "The reports surrounding the star cast remuneration for Padmavati are completely false. The rumours are baseless and are being blown out of proportion."

Hope that puts a rest to all the rumours!
