Little Hearts Cast Remuneration: Little Hearts, an emerging surprise hit of 2025 and a Telugu romantic drama featuring debutants Mouli Tanuj Prashanth and Shivani Nagaram, shows great promise, even though it is a small-budget film. But strong emotional appeal along with youthful storytelling has turned this film into an audience’s curiosity.
Little Hearts grossed ₹4 crore worldwide on the second day with ₹2.5 crore from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film currently stands with a total of ₹6.5 crore worldwide including ₹4 crore gross from Telugu states. Since the film was made on a completely inclusive budget of ₹6 crore (production plus promotions), it has probably crossed its cost mark just within two days. If this trend continues, it could turn into a successful venture by the end of its first week.
However, while buzzing on box office numbers, the remuneration of Mouli Tanuj Prashanth and Shivani Nagaram remains under wraps. Typically, debut entrants to the industry are subject to clause-type confidentiality regarding their remuneration, and same is applicable in this case since Little Hearts is a small-budget film which usually pays its leads less upfront.
Newcomers, in most cases, tend to have a profit-sharing deal rather than a high salary, for a film such as Little Hearts. That means most of their real money comes from a cut of the profits generated by the film, making its success a direct gain for them. Since the earnings look solid at the start, even if their initial salaries were less, the leads are in a position to make considerable gains.
More than remuneration, this triumph of the film will benefit Mouli Tanuj Prashanth and Shivani Nagaram majorly. Since both received positive reviews from critics and audiences, more offers would come their way with heftier sums attached to them soon.
