During his conversation with Raj Shamani for his podcast, Koki revealed the remuneration for his first-ever assignment and first film 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama'.

The Shehzada actor said, "Pyaar Ka Punchnama wasn’t Rs 1 crore. It was Rs 70,000. I didn’t make that much even for 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety'. I only started making money after that."

He also expressed his anxiousness about TDS back in the day. Those days, I used to worry a lot about TDS. The tax would already be deducted from my paycheque. I made Rs 63,000 for 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' after taxes. TDS used to really worry me," he said.

"I remember making Rs 1,500 for my first ad, and Rs 70,000 for the first film. And now, I’ve climbed up to this number," Kartik added.

Well, if the latest reports are anything to go by, Kartik will be paid an impressive Rs 50 crore for his role in 'Tu Meri Mein Tera Mein Tera Tu Meri'. While the collaboration has already created a significant buzz, with a total budget of Rs 150 crore, the flick is touted as one of the most ambitious rom-coms in recent times.
