It was previously reported that Kareena Kapoor had asked for a hiked fee to play Sita in a reimagining of the Ramayana.

“Just a few years ago, no one would talk about a man or woman actually getting equal pay in a movie. Now there are a lot of us being very vocal about it. I make it quite clear what I want and I think that respect should be given,” Kareena recently addressed the rumours.
