Kannappa Star Cast Remuneration: The new mythological epic Kannappa, helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. It is creating buzz in the Indian cinema space with its A-list cast and budget guaranteeing a movie event. Directed by 24 Frames Factory’s Vishnu Manchu, the movie has combined legendary heroes and pan-India heroes, each of whom demanded a humongous paycheck. Following is a glimpse at the disclosed paychecks of the main cast.
Vishnu Manchu – The Lead Hero
Playing Kannappa in the lead role, Vishnu Manchu not only performs in the film but also produces it. He has reportedly been paid ₹8–10 crore for his work. His total hands-on commitment both creatively and financially attests to his personal interest in this passion project.
Prabhas – God Shiva
It is a massive casting coup that Prabhas is playing Lord Shiva in a cameo. While his screen presence might be short, his popularity is not. Trade experts say he’s demanding a whopping ₹20–25 crore, a sign of his pan-India popularity and box-office power.
Mohanlal – A Divine Role
Mohanlal, the Malayalam actor, is also rumoured to have an avatar of a god. While the details of his character are not revealed, sources mention that his fee lies in the bracket of ₹8–10 crore, befitting his position in South Indian films.
Akshay Kumar – Surprise Entry
Adding to the countrywide success of the film, Bollywood’s leading star Akshay Kumar has a reportedly cameo role in the film. He earns a salary of approximately ₹6–7 crore, said to indicate his trust in inter-industry collaboration.
