Mumbai: Actor Deepika Padukone sought to brush away the matter of her remuneration for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, which is reportedly more than co-stars Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, saying she was "comfortable" with what she got.
"Talking about my remuneration is not exciting for me. I am confident and comfortable with what I am paid," she said.
"But let me tell you something that I am really proud of 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.
About the uni-brow looks her character Rani Padmini sports in the film, Deepika said she feels women are conditioned to think of beauty in certain way."Women have been conditioned to think of beauty in a certain way and I am glad with 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 also said that the role was extremely challenging and different than Mastani in Bajirao Mastani.IANS
