Tollywood actor Prabhas became a household name after achieving super stardom post the release of his ‘Baahubali’ franchise. And, it will not be wrong to say that he is giving tough competition to established Bollywood superstars like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Yes, you heard that right.
The ‘Saaho’ actor currently has several films in his kitty including ‘Radhe Shyam’, ‘Adipurush’, ‘Project K’ and ‘Spirit’. Also, interestingly, most of his films seem to be produced by none other than Bhushan Kumar! If reports are anything to go by, then the ‘Rebel’ star is the highest-paid actor in the entertainment industry next to Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.
A source revealed to a leading entertainment portal (Bollywood Hungama) that “Bhushan Kumar is amongst the biggest producers of Bollywood today and he is planning to make the biggest of the films in the post-pandemic world.” And hence, “he is teaming up not only with a Bollywood actor, but someone who has the widest possible reach pan India – Prabhas.
His presence gives Bhushan and his team the liberty to make films without being bothered much about the budgets.
He is supremely excited to take things to the next level with Radhe Shyam, Adipurush and Spirit.” The close source was also quoted saying that “working with Prabhas is a matter of prestige and the actor has reportedly charged Rs 150 crore flat to be a part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’, and with this, he has emerged as the highest-paid actor of India today.
He got Rs 150 crore for ‘Adipurush’ as well.” It is pertinent to mention that Salman Khan had charged more than Rs 100 Cr for his films, ‘Sultan’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ followed by Akshay Kumar who charged in the similar range for ‘Bell Bottom’.
