Ranbir is expensive than Kareena

Two-film old Ranbir Kapoor, who has been roped in by Japanese electronic major Panasonic , should be feeling quite proud of himself. The young actor’s latest film has a budget which exceeds Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s next film by Rs 18 crores.

Wake Up Sid is a romance set in Mumbai revolving around a young man (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), a writer. Reports suggest that the film’s budget was initially Rs 80 crores but due to the recent market condition was reduced to Rs 60 crores.

As for Renzil D'Silva’s Jehaad, starring Saif and Kareena, a source says that it has an estimated budget of Rs 42 crores.

In addition to this, Saif has appeared in 50 films and Ranbir’s cousin, Kareena, has done 38 films. But Dharma Productions doesn’t seem to think these are good enough reasons to splurge on Jehaad’s budget. (Photo: AP)

Rumours doing the rounds that establish Karan’s high hopes for Wake Up Sid are that he has given the distribution rights of the film to UTV Motion Pictures, making it an exception as all his previous films have always been distributed by Yash Raj.
