Triptii Dimri is currently one of the most talked about actresses among all the emerging Bollywood divas. Starting her career as an outsider, working as an extra on set to performing as the lead actress in movies of Imtiaz Ali and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, she has come a long way. Though this path was laden with ups and downs, Triptii has proved her mettle through each and every one of her performances.
Now, this newcomer has replaced one of Bollywood’s most popular and bankable actresses, Deepika Padukone. Buzz is rife in the air that Sandeep Reddy Vanga has cast Triptii in his upcoming movie, Spirit, after ousting Deepika from the role. Amid this, reports of the Qala actress increasing her fee have grabbed headlines. Triptii has reportedly increased her charges after Animal‘s blockbuster success.
Triptii Dimri started her acting career as an extra in Sridevi’s Mom
Triptii Dimri first made her Bollywood appearance with the late actress, Sridevi’s last film, Mom. The film was released in 2017 and also featured Pakistani actress, Sajal Aly in the pivotal role of ‘Arya’. Triptii played the role of ‘Arya’s classmate. The actress had a small role and was on the screen for mere minutes. However, after this film, Triptii went on to star in the lead role in Shreyas Talpade’s Poster Boys.
Triptii Dimri’s Laila Majnu was a flop initially, and now she charges more per film than this movie’s box office collection
Bollywood director, Imtiaz Ali had made the film, Laila Majnu with newcomers Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri. The film was made with a budget of Rs. 10 crore. However, it only earned somewhere between Rs. 2-3 crores after its original release. It was declared a commercial flop, reported Koimoi. But a few years after its release, the songs went viral on social media, and as more and more people saw the film on OTT platforms, Laila Majnu gained a cult classic status. It was also released in the theatres and was able to cover the budget with the new earnings. But the most interesting part is that Triptii Dimri gained such success after Laila Majnu that she now charges more per film than the entire box office collection of this movie’s original release, which was Rs. 2-3 crores.
