Sanjay Dutt: The Costly Choice for Telugu Villain Roles?

  • March 26, 2024 / 02:52 PM IST

Sanjay Dutt‘s performance as the villain Adheera in KGF: Chapter 2 has made him extremely popular in South Indian film. He’s become the most wanted villain, commanding high sums. He initially charged Rs 6 crore for KGF: Chapter 2, but has now increased his cost dramatically.

He charges Rs 8 crore for “Double iSmart” and Rs 10 crore for Raja Saab. But that’s not all. Producers also have to cover additional expenses of around Rs 2 crore. This includes flying in his eight-member team and providing a chartered flight. Sanjay also prefers on-site accommodation in his personal caravan, adding to the costs.

While having Sanjay Dutt in a film guarantees audience interest, producers must consider the cost-effectiveness. His fees and additional expenses make him the most expensive antagonist in Indian cinema. Despite his popularity, the financial aspect requires careful consideration before signing him on for a project.
