In a shocking update, Bollywood top actress Deepika Padukone, who had been roped in to play the female lead of Young Rebel Star Prabhas and Nag Ashwin's #Prabhas21, is learnt to have rejected the advance offered to her.
According to a version, Deepika turned a good samaritan as she decided to take remuneration only after the project gets rolled down and the film is sold out to certain areas as the producers will have some liquid cash to spend lavishly on the project that includes cast and crew remunerations.
There is also another version of Deepika denying remuneration. Hitherto, #Prabhas21 was supposed to go on floors right away Radheshyam is wrapped up. But then, Adipurush appears to be replacing Prabhas and Nag's Sci-Fi thriller. Obviously, #Prabhas21's shoot maybe delayed for some years. Sensing these hardships, Deepika mightn't have had a financial commitment, for now.
Incidentally, Deepika also suffered with some ego issues, as she is reluctant of the film being called #Prabhas21 by the media houses.
Whatsoever, the director and producer need to come up with one more update of the project to bring the curtains down for gossips on the project.
