After the blockbuster success of the ‘Bahubali’ film franchise, Prabhas has become one of the biggest stars of our country.
The 42-year-old handsome hunk enjoys a massive fan following not only in the South film industry but also in Bollywood.
The actor has a handful of interesting pan-India movies lined up like ‘Adipurush’, ‘Salaar’, ‘Spirit’, ‘Radhe Shyam’, and Project K. Interestingly, most of Prabhas’s upcoming movies are bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series.
If this Bollywood Hungama report is to be believed, Prabhas is said to have surpassed B-Town superstars like Salman Khan & Akshay Kumar and has now supposedly become the HIGHEST-PAID actor in the Indian film industry. As the report further states, Prabhas has apparently received hefty paychecks of Rs 150 crores each for ‘Spirit’ and ‘Adipurush’.
A source informed the portal- “Bhushan Kumar is amongst the biggest producers of Bollywood today and he is looking to make the biggest of the films in the post-pandemic world. And hence, he is teaming up not only with a Bollywood actor, but someone who has the widest possible reach pan India – Prabhas. His presence gives Bhushan and his team the liberty to make films without being bothered much about the budgets. He is supremely excited to take things to the next level with Radhe Shyam, Adipurush and Spirit.”
“Working with Prabhas is a matter of prestige today given his unparalleled stardom. The actor has reportedly charged Rs. 150 crores flat to be a part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, and with this, he has emerged as the highest-paid actor of India today. He got Rs. 150 crores for Adipurush as well. He is the third actor in the last 10 years to be paid upwards of Rs. 100 crores after Salman Khan (who got Rs. 100 crores plus for Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai) and Akshay Kumar (who started charging Rs. 100 crores from Bell Bottom),” the source added.
