Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney may be making her grand entry into Bollywood. According to reports, the Euphoria and The White Lotus actress has been approached for a leading role in what could become one of India’s most expensive films ever made, with a staggering ₹530 crore (approx. £45 million) pay package attached.
What’s the Project About?
As reported by The Sun, an unnamed Indian production company has offered Sweeney:
- ₹415 crore (£35 million) as her acting fee
- An additional ₹115 crore (£10 million) from sponsorship and brand deals
The movie reportedly casts Sydney as a young American star who falls in love with a famous Indian celebrity. The international romance drama is set to be filmed across New York, Paris, London, and Dubai, with production starting in early 2026.
Why Sydney Is Considering It
A source told The Sun:
“Sydney was shocked by the offer at first — £45 million is an incredible sum. But the project is intriguing and could elevate her global profile even further.”
The insider added that the film is part of a strategic push to internationalize Indian cinema, banking on Sweeney’s Hollywood fame to attract global audiences.
Despite having several projects lined up, Sweeney is reportedly weighing her options carefully:
“Money isn’t everything… but this could push her to new limits as an actress.”
