Some people responded to the news by saying Kareena KhanKhan was asking too much for a job. Taapsee has now spoken out on the matter.
Taapsee Pannu, in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble,responded to Kareena Khan's rumoured fee request by saying that "If it hadbeen a man who was in that position, people would have said, "Iski market gayi hai" (His market value is increasing). This guy is a great success. It is always like this. This issue of a rise in women's salaries will bediscussed every day.
Taapsee Pannu said, "She's one of the most popularfemale stars in the country." It's her job to demand a certain amount ofsalary. Are you sure that they aren't paid for their work, justlike the mythological characters played by men? It's not my opinion. It's when a woman increases her salary thatpeople label her "problematic". It's a success indicator when it's for aman.
It is interesting to note that KV Vijayendra Prasad, thelegendary writer, clarified that Kareena Khan had not been approached for thefilm.
