Jr NTR vs Hrithik Roshan: Enormous anticipations surround War 2 being a spy thriller from the expanding YRF Spy Universe-a bona fide haute couture for the action thronged with a big cast. If fans are eager to see Hrithik Roshan reprise his Eldorado as Kabir and Junior NTR turn to face him as an intense antagonist, the bigger question is who was paid more to be part of the action?
According to various reports, Jr. NTR was paid ₹60 crores for his role in War 2. Making him one of India’s highest-paid actors at present. His new stint in Bollywood by way of this high-stakes movie comes after his sensational universal success with RRR. Considering not only his box-office drawing power down South but also his increasing popularity in Hindi-speaking markets, the producers have allegedly handed him this kind of compensation.
Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, who is the hero of the War franchise, is said to have been paid ₹48 crores for War 2. While slightly lower than Jr. NTR, the payment that Hrithik received makes him very much the face of the series. His charisma, acting chops, and longstanding equation with the audience continue to be a vital part of the story and marketing of the film.
Interestingly, the reason Jr. NTR got so much money is for playing the character of an extraordinarily powerful villain. Not the archetype of evil as seen in most films. It seems that this character supposedly has a deep moral ambiguity and is very central to the storyline. The kind of energy that he will bring to the film will thus create a whole new juxtaposition. With the protagonist, making him equally important in the story. The production house feels that his performance might add a whole new emotional and action layer to the film. Which justifies his remuneration.
