The history of Indian cinema has been that films run on the name of the hero. But now the tables are turning. Now villains are also running films. And they are charging more fees than the actors. Today we are going to tell you the name of such a person, who has beaten the big names like Shahrukh, Salman, Aamir, Ranbir Kapoor in terms of fees.
Actors are paid more than actresses
On whose strength do films run? First is the hero and second is the story. If both are solid then there is a lot of profit. Tickets are also sold on their strength. Also, it has been seen in the Indian film industry that actors get more fees than actresses. They charge fees of more than 100 crores. Even if other actors in the film do not get even half of that. However, now villains are giving tough competition to actors in films. They are charging more fees than them. Today we are going to tell you the story of the highest paid villain from the South, who charged 200 crores in a single film.
We are talking about Kannada superstar Yash, who is celebrating his 39th birthday today on 8 January. He worked for a long time but became famous with the KGF series. And became the highest paid villain in the history of Indian cinema. He is the co-producer and actor in Nitesh Tiwari's film 'Ramayana'. He will be seen in the role of Ravana in the movie. And for this, he has charged more fees than Ranbir Kapoor.
Yash has got 200 crores for this film!
According to media reports, Yash is being paid around 200 crores for Nitesh Tiwari's movie. This makes him the highest paid villain in any Indian film. He has also surpassed Kamal Haasan, who was reportedly paid 25 to 40 crores for Kalki 2898 AD.
There is no one in Bollywood to compete with Yash. By the way, it is not a simple matter for a villain to get Rs 200 crore. This is more than the fees charged by Bollywood actors. Shahrukh Khan has earned around Rs 150 crore per film in the last few years. Salman Khan has also charged something around this, while Aamir Khan has also not touched the figure of Rs 200 crore since 2017. Telugu cinema superstar Prabhas has also reportedly charged Rs 120-150 crore per film as fee. However, if anyone has earned more than Rs 200 crore, then it is Allu Arjun, Rajinikanth and Thalapathy Vijay.
