As per a report by Financial Express, Bobby Deol, received Rs 4-5 crore, while Rashmika Mandanna received Rs 4 crore, and Anil Kapoor received Rs 2 crore.
Meanwhile, Bobby in an interview to PTI said: “It’s not the length of the role, it is the kind of the character, which has so much substance. I wish I had more scenes but when I signed the film, I knew this is what I had. At that point in my life, I was grateful to god that I was given this chance to play this role by Sandeep. I knew I had only 15 days of work and wouldn’t be there throughout the film. I was sure people would notice me, but I never realised that there will be so much love, appreciation and affection. It’s like wow! It’s amazing,” adding that, “People have loved the character so much that there should be a spin-off. It is so encouraging that people appreciate your work and they want to see more of you, playing that character. It feels good.”
