Kalyani Priyadarshan vs Krithi Shetty: Abdi Abdi song from the forthcoming fantasy entertainer Genie has taken social media by storm for why-the-dazzling belly dance performances by Kalyani Priyadarshan and Krithi Shetty. With the Middle Eastern beats fused into the grand-set-up-outfit forms, instant attention for the energy and choreography. And now, it’s a hot topic for discussions among fans as to who did the moves better. And more interestingly, who got paid more for the show-stopping number.
While the production house has maintained silence on the financial details. Insiders of the industry and trade sources have endowed their rough calculation based on the current market trend. Reportedly, Kalyani Priyadarshan is supposed to have received about ₹45–50 lakh, while Krithi Shetty is believed to have been paid about ₹35–40 lakh for the same song.
It is believed that Kalyani’s recent successful films and growing pan-Indian appeal influenced her higher remuneration. She was also naturally the choice for the more technically challenging choreography due to her professional dance training in the past. Krithi, on the other hand, brought in easy charm and emotional expression to the performance, balancing Kalyani’s intensity.
Abdi Abdi is now one of the most talked-about promotional songs in South cinema. Its extravagant set designs, daring costumes, and rhythmic choreography have boosted both actresses’ careers. Kalyani is being adored for her precision and poise, and Krithi’s grace and on-screen aura are being equally celebrated.
