Ajay Devgn’s appearance in the film is brief, yet pivotal to the storyline. Despite filming for only 7 days for this crucial role, he reportedly received a substantial payment of Rs 35 crores, according to reports.
For the past few years, Bollywood has witnessed a surge of South Indian films making their mark, particularly with Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada movies finding success through their Hindi versions. Now, Bollywood celebrities are increasingly joining South Indian film projects, with their remuneration potentially raising eyebrows.
Still, there exists a delicate balance as Bollywood producers are increasingly tapping into the pool of South Indian talent for their ventures. Notably, Jr NTR has been cast as a parallel lead alongside Hrithik Roshan in War 2. Additionally, Rashmika Mandanna took on a pivotal role in Animal, whereas Jawan showcased the talents of Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara.
Making her Telugu film industry debut in SS Rajamouli’s RRR, the actress commanded an impressive fee of Rs 9 crore for her portrayal of Sita, despite having only 20 minutes of screen time, as reported by DNA.
The renowned filmmaker, acclaimed for his historical fiction productions, holds a 30% stake in the profits of the movie.
As producers from both North and South industries seek equilibrium, they are increasingly crafting films that resonate with audiences nationwide, transforming them into Pan-Indian endeavors.
