This south star is set to earn ₹ 300 crore from a single film. He will be the highest-paid actor in India currently.

That was not too long ago, for when ₹100 crore used to be a benchmark for any film at the box office, it subsequently became the budget of big films and, as things now stand, forms usually what the top stars demand for a single film. Needless to say, the remunerations of stars have taken leaps and bounds in Indian cinema. And if new reports are to be believed, one star has taken it even further by ensuring that he may earn ₹300 crore for a single film.

India’s highest-paid actor demands ₹300 crore per film?

According to Track Tollywood, Allu Arjun reportedly raked in a whopping ₹300 crore for Pushpa 2: The Rule, one of his most-awaited upcoming films. Since big-budget movies such as Jawan and Kanguva had the same budget at ₹300 crore, the figure is astronomical, and it brings him the title of being India’s highest-paid actor. The Telugu star has now overtaken Rajinikanth, who collected ₹250 crore for Jailer and Vijay, who collected a similar amount for Leo. Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have been able to collect between ₹150-200 crore for their biggest hits, with profit sharing included. Reports indicate that Aamir Khan had till 2017 raked over ₹230 crore for Dangal

Does the ₹300 crore figure even add up?

Many have doubted the genuineness of Allu Arjun’s ₹300 crore ‘fees’ for Pushpa 2 But there is a way the actor could be earning that amount for the film. Like many top stars today, including his contemporary Prabhas, Allu Arjun has begun to forego a large portion of the signing amount in favour of distribution rights and profit share. This would mean that if Pushpa 2 manages to be a blockbuster, crossing ₹1000 crore as predicted, trade experts say he stands to earn between ₹250-300 crore. That’s how Aamir earned ₹230 crore for Dangal (due to the windfall from China).
