Vedika hikes her rates!

Vedika is the slim and beautiful actress who always looks like the much-improved version of Nagma.

Once in a while, she makes an attempt or two to establish herself in Telugu, but with limited success. Then, when Lawrence Raghava approached her for the Tamil/Telugu bilingual 'Muni', she was only too glad to accept it. The film turned out to be an above-average hit in both the languages.

Meanwhile, Simbu was having problems in finding a heroine for his new film. His ill-reputation when it comes to his female-costars had made many leading heroines nervous about acting with him.

Vedika came forward. But suddenly, her rates have shot up. There are talks that she wants Rs 15 Lakhs to act in the role. It also seems that the team is ready to give her that kind of salary.
