Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi opened to mixed responses from critics and audiences when the film released on June 4. And the actress’ objectification in the film made matters worse as it sparked debates online about the way women are essayed in Telugu films.

Amid the controversy, a report by Bollywood Hungama says the actress, who was paid Rs 5 crore for Devara, charged Rs 8 crore for Peddi.

“This is the biggest pay cheque of her career, and she was a thorough professional on the sets of Peddi. She was paid Rs. 5 crores for Devara, and this is a jump of about 50 per cent from Devara. With back-to-back success in the Telugu film industry with Devara and Peddi, Janhvi is considered to be the woman with a golden leg in the fraternity, commanding a 100 per cent success ratio,” a trade source was quoted saying.

Janhvi Kapoor finds support

Actor Dimple Hayathi came in support of Janhvi Kapoor after the actor’s portrayal in Ram Charan-starrer “Peddi” received criticism and said “the system and makers” are to be blamed.

The Telugu sports-action drama found itself at the centre of controversy after a section of audiences criticised the film for objectifying women through its camera work, dialogues, and romantic scenes between Charan and Kapoor.
