Batwara 1947 Cast Fee: Did Sunny Deol Charge 50% Of The Film’s Budget, 500% Higher Than Preity Zinta?
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan, Batwara 1947 has been one of the most anticipated period dramas of the year. However, it is clashing with Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 and the initial results do not seem to be in favor of Sunny Deol’s film, especially, looking at the budget and the paychecks of the star cast!
Based on Asghar Wajahat’s celebrated play Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai, the Partition drama brings together an impressive ensemble cast featuring Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol. The story narrates the trauma of the partition of India and Pakistan on both sides!
Batwara 1947 Starcast Salary Breakdown
Earlier, it was reported that the budget of Batwara 1947 is a controlled one since it has been mostly shot in a studio setup, bringing the investment to 70 – 80 crore! However, the budget of the film is 120 crore, and as per reports, Sunny Deol might have charged a huge chunk of this entire budget to play Sikandar Mirza, a good-hearted man who migrated to Pakistan from India!
