The Sun understands that a production company approached her with the mega-deal — made up of a £35million fee alongside a further £10million in additional sponsorship agreements.
Sydney, who hit the red carpet in a scarlet gown at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, would play a young American star who falls in love with an Indian celebrity.
Filming is currently pencilled in to take place early next year in locations including New York, Paris, London and Dubai.
A source said: “Sydney was shocked by the offer at first, £45million is an incredible sum.

“But the project is intriguing, and it could elevate her global profile even further.
“The Indian film industry is powerful and growing, and this movie is designed to bring its productions to the international market.
“Nothing has been decided yet, but it’s a huge opportunity and Sydney is weighing her options carefully.
“Money isn’t everything, and she has many projects lined up, but this could push her to new limits as an actress.”
A Bollywood move would see Sydney follow in the footsteps of stars including Priyanka Chopra and Celebrity Big Brother’s Shilpa Shetty.
Sydney shot to fame with TV roles in the teen drama Euphoria and black comedy The White Lotus.
In her latest film, Christy, she learnt to box to play US pro fighter Christy Martin — the first female boxer to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
She won a world title before her husband tried to murder her.
Sydney said of the movie, which is out on November 7: “Every single fight you see, we’re actually punching each other.
“We’re going full force.
“I always believed that you wouldn’t be able to make it feel real if it’s a stunt double or if it’s faking the hits.
