Kajal as producer not now?
Although reports about pretty actress Kajal Agarwal turning producer are making rounds, a source close to the actress denies these rumours. “Kajal has no such plans for now,” he says and adds “Last year she thought of producing a film with Prashanth Varma, while she did a cameo in his experimental film ‘Awe’ but this year she is busy with her acting commitments, hence production is not in her scheme of things,” he adds. The top-league actress who is reportedly drawing a pay of Rs 1.75 crore per film, has big films lined up this year. “Bharateeyudu 2’ is very much on and also doing a film with Sharwanand. She also has to complete ‘Sita’ with Bellamkonda Srinivas and two more films under discussion,” the source points out.
Even though actresses-turning-producers is not a new phenomenon in T-town but none of them made money. Seasoned divas like Roja and Vijayashanti produced movies in their heydays but ended up losing their hard-earned money. While Roja invested in husband and director R K Selvamani’s movie ‘Durga’, Vijayashanti put her money in ‘Nippuravva’ but both the films crashed at the box office. “Kajal should think twice before turning producer because her acting career is going great guns” the source concludes.
