This Actress Was Paid Rs 10 For Debut, Became Sridevi's Nemesis, Married Another's Husband
1/6 Beginning her career with a modest payment of just Rs 10 for her first film, Jaya Prada went on to become a formidable contemporary to Sridevi, one of Indian cinema's leading actresses. Over the years, she shared the screen with numerous superstars and earned acclaim for her performances across a wide range of Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Marathi. Her versatility and screen presence established her as a uniquely celebrated figure in Indian cinema. Jaya Prada has acted in over 300 films spanning multiple industries. She made her debut in the 1974 Telugu film Bhoomi Kosam, in a small role for which she was reportedly paid Rs 10. From these humble beginnings, she rose to become one of the highest-paid actresses of her time. 3/6 Some of her most acclaimed films include Sargam (1979), Urikki Monagadu (1981), Kaamchor (1982), Kavirathna Kalidasa (1983), Sagara Sangamam (1983), Tohfa (1984), Sharabi (1984), Maqsad (1984), Sanjog (1985), Aag Hi Aag (1986), Aakhree Raasta (1986), Simhasanam (1986), Sindoor (1987), Samsaram (1988), Elaan-E-Jung (1989), Aaj Ka Arjun (1990), Thanedaar (1990), Maa (1991), and Habba (1999). In Tamil cinema, she starred opposite Kamal Haasan in Manmatha Leelai (1976) and Salangai Oli (1983), and appeared in Ninaithale Inikkum (1979), which featured both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. She was also seen in Kamal Haasan's 2008 film Dasavatharam. Throughout her career, she worked with iconic actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan, and many others. Interestingly, Jaya Prada never initially intended to enter the film industry; her early ambition was to pursue a career in medicine. She later married film producer Srikanth Nahata, who was already married to Chandra and had two children. For over three decades, Jaya Prada and Sridevi were known to share a fierce professional rivalry. Although they co-starred in the film Maqsad, it is widely believed that they kept their distance off-screen.

Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth's Film Sees Further Dip, Mints Rs 216 Crore
New Delhi: Rajinikanth's Coolie, perhaps, didn't get the benefit of discunted ticket prices on its first Tuesday since release. The film minted Rs 216 crore across all languages with Rs 9.50 crore from Tuesday alone. Breaking Down The Numbers On Tuesday, Rajinikanth's film registered a single-digit number for the first time since its release. On Monday, the film managed to earn Rs 12 crore, with Rs 7.75 crore in Tamil and Rs 1.85 crore in Hindi contributing to the total number, as per Sacnilk. Coolie, released on the eve of Independence Day, minted Rs 65 crore with Rs 44.5 crore in Tamil alone on the first day (August 14). On day two, the film minted Rs 54.75 at the domestic box office. Coolie received mixed reviews. The word-of-mouth from the audience might have impacted its numbers over the weekend. On Saturday, the film managed to earn Rs 39.5 crore across all languages. Coolie emerged as Rajinikanth's all-time highest opener at the box office. The film missed the spot of being the highest opener for Tamil cinema as Lokesh Kanagaraj-Vijay's Leo set the highest opening record of Rs 66 crore at the box office. About Coolie Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie marks Rajinikanth's 171st film. The movie also features Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir and Sathyaraj in key roles. Aamir Khan will make a cameo appearance in the film. Coolie is produced by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Coolie plays out in a man's world. The likes of Preethi, notwithstanding the amount of screen time she has, is only of secondary importance. So is everybody else in the film and that includes the writer-director himself. It is Rajinikanth the star and Deva the character who call the shots all the way through. Should anybody be complaining?" Coolie is racing ahead of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which released on August 14.
