MUMBAI: It's a well-known fact that the last Shahid Kapoor release, Jersey, did not fare well at the box office. In fact, it was an out-an-out box office bomb with a collection of just ₹19.68 crore nett. However, this does now seem to have affected the actor's value at all. However, the actor is reported to have hiked his fees and charged a bomb for his upcoming project which has left the director in fix.
A well-placed source close within the industry revealed that the actor was recently approached for a project by an up-and-coking Director, for which he apparently quoted a fee of ₹35 crore, ₹5 crore more than what he was reportedly paid for Jersey, leaving said director in the lurch as it seemed difficult to convince his investors to pay Shahid that much.
