As fans eagerly await the release of Junior NTR’s highly anticipated film ‘Devara’, news about the cast’s fees has taken the industry by storm. Jr NTR is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema right now, especially after the worldwide success of ‘RRR’. But how much did he charge for his role in Devara? The amount is sure to surprise you!
Devara Set for a Grand Release
‘Devara’ is slated to hit theatres on 27th September, and with the trailer already receiving a fantastic response, expectations are sky-high. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, making her Telugu debut, and Saif Ali Khan in a key role. Directed by Koratala Siva, the movie is being made on a lavish budget of Rs 300 crore.
Junior NTR’s Huge Fee for Devara
After the phenomenal success of ‘RRR’, Junior NTR has hiked his fee, and for Devara, he has charged a staggering Rs 60 crore. This is a significant jump from the Rs 45 crore he charged for his last film. Reports suggest that his fee now makes up about 20% of the total budget of the movie. Fans have been praising his performance in the trailer, and many believe his massive fee is well deserved.
Director Koratala Siva Earns Half of Jr NTR’s Fee
While Jr NTR is earning Rs 60 crore for the film, the director, Koratala Siva, has charged only Rs 30 crore. This comes as a bit of a surprise, considering the immense effort and time that went into making ‘Devara’. It took over two years of hard work, from scripting to execution, to bring this project to life. However, Koratala Siva’s previous film ‘Acharya’ (2022) did not perform well at the box office, and it may have influenced his pay for Devara.
Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan Also Increase Their Fees
For Janhvi Kapoor, ‘Devara’ is her first major film in the South Indian film industry, and she has also raised her fee. Normally charging Rs 3.5 crore per film, Janhvi is reported to have asked for Rs 5 crore for ‘Devara’, reflecting her growing popularity.
Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, is being paid Rs 10 crore. What’s interesting is that Saif’s character is not your typical villain. His role will have further development in the second part of the movie, which has already been confirmed. Fans are excited to see him in a unique avatar that combines heroism and antagonism.
Excitement Builds for Devara
With a Rs 300 crore budget and a star-studded cast, ‘Devara’ is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year. The trailer has already created buzz, and the storyline, which is kept under wraps, promises to be full of action, drama, and stunning visuals. Koratala Siva is known for his grand storytelling, and this time, he’s ready to make a strong comeback after Acharya.
Fans are eagerly counting down the days until Devara hits the big screen. After this, Junior NTR will dive straight into another high-budget project with Prashanth Neel titled ‘Dragon’. As for Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, their roles are set to expand in the second part of Devara, ensuring that this film will remain in the spotlight for a long time.
The film’s release is just around the corner, and with such a talented team working behind it, expectations couldn’t be higher!
