Item song in The Paradise
Natural Star Nani is the hero of the upcoming film 'The Paradise', directed by Srikanth Odela. Keerthy Suresh has agreed to do an item song in this movie. The two already worked together in the hit film 'Dasara', and maybe that's why she agreed. As soon as the news broke, people started speculating about her fee.
The song's shoot is already complete. Rumours were flying that Keerthy charged a whopping ₹1 crore for the four-minute song. However, sources say 'The Paradise' film unit has clarified that there's no truth to these rumours. They didn't reveal her actual fee but confirmed she didn't take ₹1 crore.

Folk-style song
However, reports suggest that Keerthy Suresh was paid a very good amount for the song. Anirudh is composing the music for this film, and it seems the item song is designed in a folk style, which should be interesting to watch.
