Recalling the story on The Kapil Sharma Show, Boney said Sridevi’s mother initially quoted ₹10 lakh for Mr. India. Instead of bargaining her down, Boney offered ₹11 lakh, along with a higher payment for her staff."},{"text":"But there was a catch. Boney reportedly agreed to the ₹11 lakh only on the condition that Sridevi’s fee for her next film would be ₹15 lakh. To make it happen, he approached Yash Chopra and got Sridevi signed for Chandni at that amount. When negotiations came up again, Boney repeated the same strategy—offering ₹16 lakh instead of the amount initially quoted, but insisting that her next film be signed for ₹25 lakh. That eventually happened with Khuda Gawah, where Sridevi was paid ₹25 lakh."},{"text":"What started as a simple negotiation tactic ended up creating a major jump in one of Indian cinema’s biggest stars’ remuneration. Boney’s strategy: pay a little more today, but lock in a much bigger number for the next film!"}]}}},"relatedArticles":{"edges":[{"node":{"uid":"ameesha-takes-a-dig-at-actresses","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Ameesha Takes a Dig at Actresses"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad%2F71803ee9-405f-4e0d-87a3-2bc6feb40797_amesha+patel.jpg?auto=format,compress&rect=0,54,1200,592&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-09-20T07:04:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"salman-slap-paparazzi-over-hip-shots","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Salman: Slap Paparazzi Over ‘Hip-Shots’"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/g9cJNG71ecJFxwXR_Salman.png?auto=format,compress&rect=0,26,532,262&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-09-20T12:11:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"hrithik-in-school-textbooks-crazy-biology-question","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Hrithik in School Textbooks?
