Pushpa 2 star cast fees:
The buzz around Pushpa 2: The Rule, set to release on December 5, 2024, has reached new heights as reports of the star cast’s earnings have surfaced. This highly anticipated sequel, directed by Sukumar, features Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and others in key roles.
According to a report from Forbes India, Allu Arjun has become the highest-paid actor in the country, charging an unprecedented ₹300 crore for Pushpa 2. This milestone places him ahead of iconic actors like Rajinikanth, Prabhas, and Shah Rukh Khan.
Other prominent South Indian actors, such as Vijay and Rajinikanth, reportedly charge between ₹130 crore and ₹275 crore per film. In comparison, Prabhas earned ₹200 crore for Kalki 2898 AD, while Kamal Haasan took home ₹150 crore for Indian 2.

Despite being pivotal to the storyline, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil received considerably lower fees. Rashmika earned ₹10 crore, while Fahadh was paid ₹8 crore. These figures are 30 times less than Allu Arjun’s paycheck.
Sreeleela, who performed a special dance number in Pushpa 2, charged ₹2 crore, a modest amount compared to Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s ₹5 crore for the hit song “Oo Antava” in Pushpa: The Rise.
The staggering fees reflect the high stakes and massive expectations tied to the Pushpa franchise. Allu Arjun’s soaring popularity post-Pushpa: The Rise has cemented his position as a pan-India star, commanding fees that rival Bollywood’s biggest names.
