When Sai Pallavi refused Rs. 40 lakh after film failure
Sai Pallavi who is known for her grounded nature and strong values has once shown her extraordinary gesture that won hearts across the film industry. The actress voluntarily let go of a major portion of her paycheck when her 2018 film Padi Padi Leche Manasu has failed to perform at the box office.
Starring alongside Sharwanand, the romantic drama is directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Despite its impressive music by Vishal Chandrasekhar, the film collected only Rs. 8 crore falling short of expectations. Understanding the financial strain on the producers and the entire team Sai Pallavi refused to accept the remaining Rs. 40 lakh from her agreed remuneration.

Apart from her professional life, Sai Pallavi is also admired for her unique style and approach to acting. She often opts for minimal makeup and prefers traditional Indian attire and this makes her relatable and beloved figure among fans. All these have made her one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry today.
Following Padi Padi Leche Manasu, Sai Pallavi has continued to deliver memorable performances. Her recent projects include collaborations with top directors such as Nitesh Tiwari for Ramayan and Naga Chaitanya for Thandel. Her last release, Amaran, a war drama co-starring Sivakarthikeyan was a box office success.
