Amidst reports that she has emerged as the highest paid actress in Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut says it is justified to ask for more remuneration as she deserves it.

There have been reports that Kangana has become the highest paid actress in Bollywood, beating her contemporaries Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone in the race.

The "Queen" actress has apparently got a staggering Rs 11 crore for an upcoming movie. This amount is far more than what Deepika and Priyanka charge for a film.

When asked on being the highest paid actress in Bollywood Kangana says, "I think the kind of films and roles I do takes a whole year... I think it is justified. At some point, we have to come to that place where we are equally paid. It is a small step... We are headed to that direction."
 

Her co-star from the upcoming film "Katti Batti" Imran Khan interrupts saying, he needs a party.

The 28-year-old actress is looking forward to the release of the film on September 18.

"It is an unusual love story but it unfolds like a thriller. Those who all have seen the film are praising it like Mr Aamir Khan. But we have not started the official trials of the film as it is in final stages. The song 'Sar phira' has become popular," the 28-year-old actress said.

Heaping praise on Imran, Kangana said, "He is very good looking and the way he played the role is amazing. He did not let his look and personality come in way of his character. I felt he did not deserve me," she said.
