Producer Boney Kapoor’s decision to take up a corporate job has sparked off a huge debate in film circles. People are wondering about Sridevi’s spouse’s decision to do a nine-to- five in his 50s.
A source says, “Looks like Sri and Boney are facing a cash crunch. Boney’s two movies No Entry and Wanted did well at the box office — but his borrowings on two other films, one of which is an incomplete venture starring Genelia D’Souza and Harman Baweja — have reportedly run him into a financial mess.”
It is said that in a bid to pay back all debtors and to maintain a fancy lifestyle, the producer has decided to head the television division of an entertainment giant. An official from the company confirmed that Boney is on the board of directors and heading the entertainment section.
His remuneration is obviously on par with the best corporate honchos. A source indicates that one of the areas in which Boney reportedly spends heavily is his star wife’s lifestyle. It is alleged that the Kapoors spend somewhere around Rs 25 lakh per month on themselves. This expenditure includes Sri’s cosmetic and wardrobe expenses.
Apparently, the yesteryear diva continues to spend lavishly on her clothes. And, she is known to visit a leading beauty clinic in the suburbs of Mumbai regularly. An insider says, “The Kapoors run a fleet of cars, take five-star holidays to Europe/America each year and also dine out very often. Sri, who ruled Bollywood for a decade, is a high-maintenance wife. She will not compromise on her lifestyle.”
Incidentally, Sridevi’s film, directed by Gauri Shinde, wife of filmmaker R Balki (Cheeni Kum, Paa) is going on floors on July 7. And, she is rumouredly getting paid handsomely for this venture.
