Jolly LLB 3 Cast Remuneration: Bollywood has its much loved courtroom drama in Jolly LLB 3. And not only fans excited about the movie but also the talks about huge pay differences on this cast. Bringing together Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, the two portray two different Jollys, and the film is supported by a cast of brilliant performers. However, the tale is different when talking about remuneration.
There, all alone at the top, is Akshay Kumar, who, for his role as Jolly from Part 2, is said to have charged a jaw-dropping ₹70 crore. That’s an insane amount, making him the highest-paid actor in this particular franchise. The two sides point at the star power, draw at the box office. And established fan following as good enough justification for such significant remission of the producers.
Interestingly enough, Arshad Warsi, who carried the original film and made Jolly what it was in Part 1, earned a mere 4 million rupees. Even though he was critically acclaimed and had a substantial fan base, his pay is insignificant when compared to Akshay’s. The disparity is, therefore, almost 17 times, which is a classic example of the differences one sees most of the times in Bollywood pay scales.
The leading lady Huma Qureshi earned ₹2 crore, while veteran actress Amrita Rao earned ₹1 crore for her supporting role. Judge Saurabh Shukla, a fan favorite for his witty courtroom presence, reportedly earned ₹70 lakh; Annu Kapoor was paid ₹50 lakh.
The difference in pay does point out that they haven’t necessarily coaltered prowess. It indicates also how Bollywood relies more on star power, box office guarantees, and market appeal. Arshad’s performance remains celebrated, but Akshay’s viability on other international markets makes it a bigger commercial value, thereby swaying decisions of producers.
