Kareena Kapoor is all set to endorse a green tea brand being sold by a well- known Indian company. A source says, "Kareena was in talks with the company for few weeks and asked for Rs 3 crore for it. The company agreed to her demands and they have just closed the deal.”

It is believed that the actress earlier charged Rs 4 crore per endorsement, and that she has slashed her fees only recently. However, another source denies this, “Kareena hasn’t cut down her fees; it just so happens that her fees vary depending on the product. She is known for endorsing products she believes in and since she is fully aware of the health benefits of green tea, the fitness-conscious actress was happy to come on board.”

Kareena’s spokesperson remained unavailable for comment.
