Months after its release, Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to dominate conversations. The film, hailed by fans for its intense action sequences and gripping storyline, had a few surprises, including a cameo by actor Yami Gautam, Dhar's wife.
Now, Yami Gautam has opened up about claims that she charged a hefty fee for her cameo in the film. The actor made a brief appearance as Shazia Bano, a nurse in Pakistan who is actually an undercover Indian agent.
While promoting her film, Nayyi Navelli, Yami appeared on the Marathi quiz show Kon Honaar Crorepati, hosted by Madhuri Dixit. A promotional clip from the show reveals Yami's response to rumours that she received a “big fat cheque” for her cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
