Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney is reportedly in advanced talks to headline what could become Bollywood’s most expensive production to date.
The 28-year-old star, widely recognized for her role in Euphoria and more recently in Immaculate, has allegedly been approached with a staggering offer from one of India’s leading production houses.
According to The Sun, the proposed deal is worth around £45 million, including a £35 million acting fee and an additional £10 million in bonuses and performance-related compensation. If finalized, it would mark one of the most lucrative contracts ever offered to a Hollywood actress in the Indian film industry.
An industry insider revealed that Sydney was “shocked” when she first heard the numbers. “£45 million is an incredible sum, but what intrigued her even more is the scale of the project and its potential to boost her international profile. The Indian film industry is powerful, dynamic, and rapidly expanding its reach to global markets. Sydney is carefully weighing her options, as money isn’t the only factor—she already has multiple projects lined up.”
The film is expected to feature Sydney in the role of a young American actress who falls in love with a famous Indian celebrity. If the deal goes through, the high-profile project will mark her Bollywood debut and could open new horizons for cross-cultural cinematic collaborations.
The much-anticipated movie is currently scheduled for release in early 2026.
