Deepika Padukone's last few movies were critically acclaimed, but they never gave the much needed success to the actress. 'Piku' was praised by critics and everyone, but the movie did average at the Box-office.
It is known that the actress appears as brand ambassador for a private sector bank. Now sources say, she has hiked her fee by nearly Rs.2 crores to continue as the brand ambassador of the leading private sector bank.
Deepika's contract was recently extended by 18 months
A source close to Deepika said, "Deepika's contract was recently extended by 18 months for which she demanded Rs.5.5 crore. That's a hike of about Rs.2 crores. Therefore, an increase in her endorsement fee is well justified."
When we tried to contact Deepika, her manager said she is busy with promotional works and shooting of her next movie and regarding the hike he said that as a standard procedure for all the stars.
