The much-awaited Telugu-Tamil bilingual movie “Kubera” by renowned director Sekhar Kammula has already generated buzz with its star cast and engaging first look. But what’s trending news today is not only the plot or looks — it’s the jaw-dropping remuneration figures of the lead cast. From leading heroes to debut combinations, here’s how much Kubera Cast is allegedly charging for their contribution on this much-awaited film.
Dhanush:
Bankable actor Dhanush has a pan-India fan following. He is starring in Kubera. He’s said to be paid a fat ₹25–30 crore, one of his highest paychecks ever from a Telugu movie. His fan following in both Telugu films as well as Tamil films and Sekhar Kammula’s previous track record justify the humongous figure.
Rashmika Mandanna:
Rashmika Mandanna continues her streak of blockbuster films with high payments with Kubera. Reportedly, she charged around ₹6–8 crore, a significant hike from her earlier ventures. Her increasing acceptability in languages and marketability make her one of the top bankable lady stars of the industry today.
Nagarjuna Akkineni:
The crew welcomes veteran actor Nagarjuna, adding weight and a big screen presence. Though he usually insists on a performance-based fee in top-brand films, in Kubera he is reportedly seeking around ₹10–12 crore. With his ardent fan base and clout, the producers appreciate his face value as a strategic decision to make visitors of all ages come to the show.
Though the director is most famous for content-based films, Sekhar Kammula is also said to be receiving a good salary. Though numbers are not revealed, it is estimated that he is receiving ₹8–10 crore, a salary well deserved given the scale and hype surrounding Kubera.
Budget Blowout or Worth the Buzz?
With just the best cast garnering more than ₹50 crore collectively, Kubera is looking like one of South Indian cinema’s costliest star-cast films. Include production expenses, VFX, and music rights, and the total cost will reach ₹100–120 crore.
Why Is the Remuneration So High?
The record remuneration is being ascribed to:
The pan-India phenomenon, leading to producers shelling out more for star power.
Strong pre-release business via OTT, satellite, and distribution rights.
Market perception of Sekhar Kammula’s script and the star cast’s box-office pull.
