[1]

The cast of Abhishek Kapoor’s upcoming film Kai Po Che is all set to fly kites with Amdavadis on Uttarayan as part of the Makar Sankranti celebrations. The lead actors Sushant Singh Rajput, along with Amit Sadh and Rajkumar have been offered a whopping `3 crore by an event management company to attend the gala event.

This event is being touted as the biggest in the city. The kite festival is called Vibrant Gujarat and the star cast of the film is scheduled to join the celebration on January 11.
Recently, Kareena Kapoor was paid `1.48 crore by the government of Chhattisgarh for an eight-minute dance performance. While production houses and actors are considering this as a golden opportunity, there are sections of the industry that have slammed the trend. “An artiste is an artiste. It’s unfair to pay such exorbitant amounts to just film actors. Why discriminate?” says a theater actor. While the debate is on, Abhishek Kapoor’s Kai Po Che continues to garner positive reaction.
