In this promotional event, Priyanka Chopra was asked about her remuneration side of things while it is being proposed that the film is being shot on ₹1300 crore budget. Priyanka had a very interesting reaction to this question.

“What is the discussion about my remuneration on a project that has such issues scale? Do you think half of the budget of the film is going into my pocket for remuneration?” She questioned.

The fact that Priyanka acknowledged that the film is going to be shot on a budget of ₹1300 crore could give a clear indication of the scale of this mighty creation. It is evident that Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are creating a visual epic with this massive budget project.
