AA22: Will Smith’s Remuneration: AA22 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest talking points in Indian cinema. With a huge budget of ₹800 crores, this film brings together a dream team both in front of and behind the camera. Directed by Atlee, it stars Allu Arjun in the lead, alongside a dazzling lineup of actresses: Deepika Padukone, Jahnvi Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bhagyashri Borse. But what’s truly stealing the spotlight is the addition of Hollywood superstar Will Smith, who is rumoured to play the lead antagonist.
This marks Will Smith’s acting debut in an Indian movie, and naturally, fans everywhere are eager to know more, especially about his paycheck. If industry whispers are to be believed, Will Smith is taking home a whopping ₹340 crores, which is nearly half of the film’s total budget. Considering his global appeal and the novelty of seeing him lock horns with Allu Arjun on the Indian screen, this figure doesn’t come as much of a shock.
