The success of her film, Queen, seems to have done Kangana Ranaut a world of good. For starters, the actress is apparently charging a huge amount for brand endorsements. If sources are to be believed, the actress has been inundated with a lot of offers from brands and recently, an eyewear company approached her to be the face of their product line. It turns out that they are willing to cough out Rs 4 crore as the actress’s fees.

Says a source, “Some years ago, Aamir Khan had endorsed the brand, but later on, the team decided to feature unknown faces as they went well with some of the brand’s new products. Now they are coming up with another range of eyewear and they think that Kangna, who is known to speak her heart out, is perfect for this. Accordingly, she was approached and the brand offered to pay her Rs 4 crore.”

Kangana’s sister Rangoli confirms that the actress has signed on to become an ambassador for the eyewear brand. “Yes, she has been signed on, but we cannot disclose her fee,” she says.
