In the glitzy world of Tollywood, fans are always curious about how much their favorite stars earn from their blockbuster films. While figures often make the rounds in the grapevine, confirming their authenticity can be tricky. Let's dive into the current earning trends among some of the industry's top stars.
Some Tollywood actors opt for a share in the film's satellite and digital rights or the profits from specific regional distributions instead of a fixed remuneration. Stars like Mahesh Babu often take a share of the profits, especially when they are involved in production. Chiranjeevi, producing his own films, might have a different compensation structure altogether. Pawan Kalyan is known to accept both remuneration and a share of the profits.
As for the figures, post 'Baahubali,' Prabhas reportedly charges over 100 crore per film, setting a new benchmark in the industry. Allu Arjun, following the success of 'Pushpa', also entered the 100 crore club. Ram Charan and Jr NTR, with their respective projects, have significantly increased their fees, allegedly around 75 crores and above. On the other hand, veterans like Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna charge around 40 crores and 22 crores respectively.
Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja, and younger stars like Vijay Devarakonda and Nani command lower, yet impressive fees ranging from 6 to 15 crores. The majority of other actors typically earn below 4 crores, highlighting a wide pay disparity within the industry.
