Bollywood actress Sunny Leone is cashing in well on her popularity and this has become glaringly evident, as the actress reportedly demanded a huger remuneration for her upcoming South Indian film. Rumour has it that her demands stumped the producers, as she asked for an amount higher than what Anushka Shetty received in the Baahubali series. Apparently, Sunny demanded Rs 2.5 crore, as her salary and including tax. The remuneration comes around to 3.25 crore, and that's higher than what Anushka Shetty, received for the Baahubali series. Anushka received Rs 2.5 crore for each Baahubali film.

Though the makers felt it was rather pricey, they seemed to have agreed to shell out the money, as Sunny's film will be made in four languages, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi. The producer strongly believes that the amount can be recovered, as Sunny has a solid fan-base in South India. The film is based on a real-life warrior princess. The name hasn't yet been revealed. The film is expected to go on floors in February, 2018.

Sunny was in the news recently, as a pro-Kannada group, Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene, protested against her New Year's Bash in Bangalore. The members threatened mass suicide, if the event was not called off. They burnt her posters, and said that her participation in the event is an assault on the culture of the land.
