There have been a lot of speculations about Shahid Kapoor signing a big budget project with Netflix. The reports also stated that the giant streaming platform and the actor has a 100 crore deal. Although a source have a complete different story to tell.
A source from Netflix informed a leading daily, “Netflix has struck no such deal with Shahid Kapoor. The amount mentioned (Rs. 100 crores) is preposterous for any star, no matter how big. And Shahid is not even in the Shah Rukh-Akshay-Salman-Aamir league. His star stature cannot justify that kind of money. We don’t know where this information comes from, certainly not from anyone at Netflix.”
“Our platform wants to break the Bollywood star system. Not add to it. We firmly believe the director is the star of the show, be it the big or the small screen. We’ve introduced four new directors this year. There are many more. As for wooing the stars; we don’t see the point in that,” added the source.
