Talking about once such actor, he has multiple films under the great SS Rajamouli. He is also considered a powerhouse of the industry. This actor’s lead role in a sci-film made history to become the first film to reach the Rs 1000 mark in 2024. We are talking about none other than the great Telugu star, Prabhas. Having worked under, SS Rajamouli, the actor instantly became an icon in Indian cinema after featuring in Baahubali franchise.

Prabhas has emerged as one of the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema, with his remuneration reflecting the scale and ambition of each project. His fees can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the film’s budget, genre, and the level of star power required. As he continues to take on diverse roles and collaborate with top-tier filmmakers, Prabhas’s earning potential only seems to rise, solidifying his status as a true powerhouse in the industry.

News reports suggest that Prabhas charging Rs 100 crore per film, and producers are eager to pay this a whopping amount to his immense pan-India appeal. His film “Kalki 2898 AD” may have received mixed reviews, but it still thrived in the Hindi market, solidifying Prabhas’s status as a genuine pan-India superstar with a vast and dedicated fanbase.

Prabhas’s projects, Salaar, Adipurush, Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, were produced with impressive budgets exceeding Rs 200 to Rs 300 crore. This clearly demonstrates the confidence producers have in Prabhas’s ability to draw crowds.

While no other South Indian actor has dared to charge Rs 100 crores per film, Prabhas has already reached that elite tier. If his next release, The Raja Saab, performs well at the box office, it will only enhance his commercial prospects and solidify his position as a leading star in Indian cinema.
