A startling announcement was made a few days back that Bollywood diva Sunny Leone would be making her first south Indian debut with a full-fledged character in director Vadivudaiyan`s period drama. But what is more shocking is the payment that the actress quoted to the makers.

Sunny has reportedly asked for a whopping Rs. 2.5 crore in payment excluding tax. It is notable that only Nayanthara has touched this payment category. However, it seems that the director had okayed the demand as this salary will include four language versions of the film and considering the actress`s huge market as well. This film will be her first Telugu-Tamil debut.

Moreover, Sunny Leone has trained in horse riding, sword fighting for the film in addition to accepting to act in high-risk stunt sequences, so the talk in film circles is that the demanded fee is justifiable.
