The remuneration game in the Telugu film industry has reached astounding heights, especially with reports circulating about Allu Arjun’s groundbreaking deal for “Pushpa 2”.
Allegedly, he’s secured a staggering 33% share of the film’s total revenue from various sources like theatrical, OTT, satellite, dubbing, and audio rights. Analysts predict the film could easily gross ₹1000 crores, potentially funneling over ₹330 crores into Allu Arjun’s pockets.
This deal has sparked comparisons with Rajinikanth, rumored to charge ₹210 crores for his latest project, and other pan-India stars like Prabhas, Salman Khan, and Shahrukh Khan, whose paychecks range from ₹150-200 crores for non-local productions.
If these reports hold true, Allu Arjun’s deal could indeed surpass these figures, establishing him as the highest-paid actor in India, overshadowing even the legendary Rajinikanth’s fee.
