Hollywood Actress Sydney Sweeney Eyed for Blockbuster Bollywood Role

Thursday, 18 September 2025 13:11

Sydney Sweeney has reportedly been offered around ₹530 crore to star in a big-budget Bollywood film—potentially making it one of the most expensive overseas casting deals in Indian cinema.

Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney is reportedly in negotiations to make her Bollywood debut, with sources claiming she has been offered a staggering ₹530 crore deal.

The package is said to include ₹35 crore for the acting contract, with the remaining sum attributed to sponsorship and branding tie-ins. If confirmed, this deal would surpass what many leading Indian film stars earn for major projects—placing Sweeney among the highest-paid international actors in the Bollywood industry.

While details about the film’s plot or co-stars haven’t been officially released, insiders suggest it will be a global collaboration, blending Bollywood style with international appeal. The buzz around the potential crossover has sparked strong debate among fans—the deal could raise the profile of cross-border work and reflect Bollywood’s increasing ambitions on the world stage.

Industry watchers are keeping a close eye on whether the deal is confirmed, how the project is structured (production, shooting locations, release strategy), and how this might shift expectations for future foreign talent involvement in Indian cinema.
