In recent discussions within the industry, there’s quite a buzz about Telugu star Allu Arjun’s striking remuneration deal for his upcoming movie “Pushpa 2” directed by Sukumar. Reports suggest a groundbreaking agreement wherein Allu Arjun is set to receive an astonishing 33% share of the total revenue generated from various sources like pre-sales, including theatrical, OTT, satellite, dubbing, and audio rights.
This deal, if the predictions of “Pushpa 2” raking in around ₹1000 crores from sales materialize, could potentially mean a staggering ₹330+ crores going directly into Allu Arjun’s pockets. Such a percentage based deal is indeed raising eyebrows and sparking discussions about whether this could set a new record in the industry.
Comparisons are being drawn with legendary actor Rajinikanth, rumored to be charging ₹210 crores for his latest film. In the larger Indian film landscape, other big names like Prabhas, Salman Khan, and Shahrukh Khan command significant paychecks ranging from ₹150-200 crores for films produced outside their home industries. By securing such a lucrative deal, Allu Arjun seems to have surpassed these established figures, potentially making himself the highest-paid actor in the country.
