Srinidhi Shetty, the heroine of kgf, was a beauty pageant contestant before making her acting debut in Prashanth Neel's film. Srinidhi is claimed to have surprised telugu producers when they approached her with an offer because both sections of kgf are major hits. As a result of her enormous achievement, she is believed to have sought a salary of approximately 2 crores. Srinidhi, on the other hand, failed to notice that she lacked a specific moniker, such as samantha from ye maya chesave or pooja Hegde's bikini acts.

What would a Miss World like Manushi Chhillar do if a pageant participant like Srinidhi demanded it that way? The directors of "Prithviraj," attracted by her crown's frenzy, had already paid her roughly a crore for her debut film. Manushi is alleged to have demanded around 2.5 crores as her pay when telugu producers approached her for modest budgeted love stories. With a single hit picture to her credit, one has to question what she thinks of herself. Both Manushi and Srinidhi have undoubtedly surprised tollywood fans.

Even big ladies like samantha and pooja hegde began their careers with low pay packages of 2-4 lakhs for their first movie. However, following massive box office success, they have increased to a level of 2-4 crores each picture. And it took years of hard labour and more than a dozen films to get there. Whereas starlets like Srinidhi and Manushi Chillar demand exorbitant pay and hope to make as much money in the film industry as quick noodles.
