Apparently, Sonakshi Sinha demanded a hefty sum to star in a south Indian film

Sonakshi Sinha is apparently charging a fee of Rs 5 crore for Krish Jagarlamudi's Telugu film in which she will be seen opposite Mahesh Babu.

According to a source, `Sonakshi had limited dates but she liked the script. She was also keen to do a period film so she gave her consent.`

Apparently, Krish began writing the film three years ago, which is also when he first saw Sonakshi in Dabangg. He wanted to narrate the story to her back then, however, the actress was not keen to do South films at that time.

Later through Prabhu Deva, Krish managed to meet Sonakshi and sign her.`
