Sydney Sweeney Being Offered a Bollywood Film With ₹530 Crore Paycheck; Report
Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney may soon be heading to Bollywood, if reports are to be believed. According to The Sun, the Euphoria and The White Lotus actress has been approached with a staggering £45 million (over ₹530 crore) deal to feature in one of the most expensive films ever produced in India.
A Massive Deal on the Table
The report states the proposed contract includes a £35 million (over ₹415 crore) performance fee, along with £10 million (over ₹115 crore) tied to sponsorship agreements. Producers are said to be banking on Sweeney’s global fanbase to give the film a strong international reach.
The story reportedly centers on a young American celebrity, played by Sweeney, who falls in love with an Indian star. The film is expected to begin production in early 2026, with shoots planned across multiple iconic locations including New York, Paris, London, and Dubai.
“Sydney was shocked by the offer initially £45 million is an extraordinary amount. But the project has piqued her interest, especially given its global appeal. Bollywood is a powerful and fast-growing industry, and this project is clearly designed to expand its reach worldwide,” a source told The Sun.
The insider further added: “Nothing is final yet. Sydney is weighing her options carefully. She already has a packed schedule, and while money isn’t everything, this film could test her as an actress and broaden her international profile.”
As of now, the actor’s representatives have not issued an official comment on the reported deal.
