Yami Gautam Dismisses Reports of Large Fee for Dhurandhar The Revenge Cameo

Yami Gautam has addressed reports claiming that she received a hefty payment for her special appearance in her husband Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar The Revenge. The actor clarified that the opportunity to work under her husband’s direction was more valuable to her than any monetary compensation.

Yami discussed her cameo during an upcoming episode of Kon Honaar Crorepati, hosted by Madhuri Dixit. In a promotional video, Madhuri asked whether Yami had charged a fee for the role or agreed to be part of the project at her husband’s request.

Responding to the question, Yami dismissed suggestions that she received a large cheque for her appearance. She explained, “I read somewhere that I got a very big fat cheque for the cameo and I was like what is this? But I think some things are priceless. It was very sweet of Aditya to say, ‘Yami I want you to come in my film just for good luck.’ But it was so fun. To get directed by one of the finest directors was my fees.”

Madhuri also shared her appreciation for Yami’s appearance, recalling the moment her identity was revealed on screen.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar The Revenge is the sequel to the 2025 action thriller Dhurandhar. Yami makes a brief appearance as Shazia Bano, a nurse who is revealed to be an undercover Indian agent operating in Pakistan. The film stars Ranveer Singh alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandor, and Sara Arjun.

Meanwhile, Yami’s film Nayyi Navelli was released in theatres on October 16. Directed by Balaji Mohan, the horror-comedy features Adinath Kothare, Mita Vashisht, Sonal Jha, and Sunita Rajwar.
