Actress Yami Gautam addresses recent reports claiming she was paid a “big fat cheque” for her cameo in the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by her husband Aditya Dhar. Speaking on a promotional appearance connected to her upcoming movie, she says she did not focus on any alleged payment and instead highlights the opportunity to work under Dhar as the real value of the moment.
Gautam recounts that Dhar invited her to appear in the film, including comments to the effect of bringing her in for “good luck.” She describes the cameo as enjoyable and meaningful because it allowed her to be directed by what she calls one of the finest directors. The outlets also note that on the show hosted by Madhuri Dixit, Gautam reacts with humor to speculation about the amount.
The articles further clarify that Gautam’s cameo is brief but notable, with her playing Shazia Bano, described as a nurse and undercover Indian agent operating in Pakistan. While some coverage centers on box-office performance and the plot of the sequel, all accounts agree on Gautam’s core point: she considers the directing opportunity “priceless” compared with reported fees.
