Fees of Prabhas, Prashanth Neel, PRithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan and others in Salaar
Right from the get-go, Salaar was marketed as a high-budget action entertainer, which is guaranteed to give a larger-than-life experience to a pan-Indian audience. The fact that the director of KGF and the lead actor of Baahubali were coming together was an added bonus for fans as well. As per Financial Express, the budget of the film alone was 400 crores.
Prabhas' salary for Salaar
Prabhas is unarguably one of the biggest actors in Indian cinema at present. So it wouldn’t come as a surprise when it is mentioned that he was the highest paid individual in Salaar.
It is reported by Financial Express that the Baahubali actor charged a whopping 100 crores for the action entertainer. But that is not where his remuneration ends. It is also understood that Prabhas is expected to receive 10% of the film’s profits. Considering the scale and widespread popularity that Salaar already holds, the 10% of profits would emerge as a significant amount as well.

Prashanth Neel is perhaps one of the most demanded filmmakers across the country at present. The filmmaker gained a pan-India appeal with his 2018 action entertainer KGF, which carried forward to the film’s sequel in 2022 as well. As per reports, Prashanth Neel has charged a whopping 50 crores for writing and directing Salaar.
Prithviraj Sukumaran's salary for Salaar
