Richest Hero in India:
The Indian film industry is known for its grandeur and massive productions, and today actors’ earnings have skyrocketed. Gone are the days when films were limited to one language or region. Now, movies have a Pan-India appeal and with this increased scope, production costs have soared as well. A significant portion of a film’s budget is often dedicated to the lead actors’ salaries, especially the heroes who are paid the most.
Among these stars, Prabhas, who became a Pan-India sensation after the massive success of the Baahubali series stands out as the richest hero in India. His net worth is estimated to be a staggering Rs. 5,400 crores. Despite facing some box office setbacks after Baahubali 2, Prabhas made a strong comeback with hits like Salaar and Kalki. Reports suggest he charges around Rs. 100 crores per film, which contributes significantly to his vast wealth.
