Needless to say, the arrival of the OTT market and the rise of Telugu cinema in the Bollywood market have not only increased the budgets of our films, but also the budgets of heroes. Those stars who have craze across the country are surely charging a bomb.
From Tollywood, we have Prabhas who is taking home nearly ₹100 crores as his paypacket for every assignment he is signing these days. And cut to those heroes who are the biggest stars in Tollywood, Mahesh and Allu Arjun have charged anywhere between ₹ 40-50 crores for their recent Telgu assignments. Now that Pushpa is a big hit, we have to see how much Bunny will charge for his next. However, Pawan Kalyan has now surpassed them all to become the second-highest-paid star in the Telugu Industry after Prabhas.
For the upcoming Vinodaya Sitham remake, it’s coming out that Pawan has charged nearly ₹ 60 crores as his payment. That kept him top on the pedestal, while he charged nearly ₹ 50 crores for Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak earlier. For this film featuring Sai Dharam Tej in the lead and directed by Samuthrikani, Pawan Kalyan will be alotting just 20 days dates only.
