With Diwali lights going dim, bollywood is gearing up for the New Year's Eve, 1 and a half months before.
Bollywood actresses, wait a whole year for this very day. After all, New Year's Eve means raking in big moolah.
The tirade for this year begins with Katrina Kaif getting 2 crores for her 10 minute dance sequence during an event.
Katrina Kaif will be paid almost double of what she was offered last year to perform on New Year's Eve at the J W Marriott.
The star's price was Rs 1 crore to usher in 2009 but due to the 26/11 terrorist attacks, all December 31 shows were cancelled. As a result, she could not stage her act.
Though everyone concerned is tightlipped, it is learnt that Kat has been paid a bigger whopper to bring in 2010.
Almost Rs 2 crore! A source said that last year, the celebrations were put off due to the somber mood in the city after 26/11.
This New Year's Eve, however, plans are on to make Katrina's event a grand affair. The actress has agreed to get jiggy but obviously for a higher price to match her present position in B-Town. The actress is guarded about her New Year's Eve show.
Katrina said that nothing's confirmed about December 31 yet. But the source maintains that the hotel is already making arrangements for her live act. They are touting it as a very exclusive show and their biggest draw for the December 31 night. Last year, Rocky S had been roped in to style her and Bosco-Ceasar for the choreography.
