A Hero Who Asked Udayabhanu So Much Money
“We have just 15 days to go to the shoot, but then a few heroes who are popular on the OTTs asked me for a budget of what my whole series would cost me.
Former television host, activist and occasional actor, Udayabhanu is now coming back into the limelight with a different role. This time, she has turned producer through her newly launched film banner, Udayabhanu Productions, and is coming up with the web series “Panchanama” which has Tamil star Bharat of ‘Premiste’ fame.
“We have just 15 days to go to the shoot, but then a few heroes who are popular on the OTTs asked me for a budget of what my whole series would cost me. Some have heard the script, said great things, but then they don’t reply or pick up the calls. Finally, I’ve reached out to Bharat, sent him a single message, and that’s it; he is onboard” said Udayabhanu at the event. She explained that Bharat is a simple person and she too felt happy working with him.
Meanwhile, the whole of social media is thinking: who is that hero who has asked Udayabhanu for such a wholesome amount of money? However, with Zee5 backing the project, surely whatever the remuneration of the hero is, that will be paid by the OTT only, so why is Udayabhanu worried about her investment is also a question being raised.
