One of the most anticipated Indian films of 2023, Adipurush, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, and Devdatta Nage, has been released in theatres. The mythological drama, which is a retelling of the epic Ramayana, opened to severe criticism from critics as well as the audience. However, the film has caused a stir at the box office. Estimates suggest that the project garnered a huge INR 90 crore in the domestic market on its first day. Fans swarmed to theatres and even constructed a massive 65-foot cutout of Prabhas in Telangana.
The film, helmed by Om Raut, was made on a massive budget of INR 500 crore. Let’s have a look at the remuneration received by the cast of the massive film:
Prabhas: Superstar Prabhas played the role of Lord Ram in the film. His portrayal has created a storm among the fans. Reports suggest that the Baahubali star was paid INR 120 crore for his character in the film.
Kriti Sanon: Kriti Sanon, who donned the role of Janaki in the project, was paid around INR 3 crore for her role. However, it was found that she wasn’t the first choice for the role. The makers had earlier gone to Keerthy Suresh, Anushka Sharma, Anushka Shetty, and Kiara Advani for the role. But things couldn’t materialise, and it finally went to Kriti.
Saif Ali Khan: Saif Ali Khan played the role of Ravana in the film. Initially, when the teaser for the film was released last year, his depiction of Ravana was heavily criticised by the audience. Then the makers decided to make changes to the film. Reportedly, Saif was paid INR 12 crore for his portrayal.
Sunny Singh: Sunny Singh was seen playing the role of Lakshman in the film. His character has received a great response from the audience and the critics. Reportedly, he charged INR 1.5 crore for the role.
Devdatta Nage: The Marathi actor was chosen to play the role of Hanuman in the project. Currently, there has been a lot of criticism for his dialogue in the ‘Lanka Dahan’ scene. As per reports, the actor was paid INR 1 crore by the makers.
Sonal Chauhan: Actress Sonal Chauhan played the role of Ravana’s wife Madodari in the film, and she was seen only in a few key scenes. Now, there has been news that Sonal was paid a whopping INR 50 lakh for her cameo in Adipurush.
