Actresses Played Devil in Movies: Characters inspired by the devil or those possessed by spirits have always been fascinating for audiences. These characters provide an opportunity to actresses to step out of their comfort zones, combining horror, thrill, and drama. Besides being effective on-screen, fans have an added point of curiosity: how much did they get paid for these roles? Here are the five leading actresses who lent their abilities to devilish characters and the estimated fees they earned.
Rashmika Mandanna caught people off-guard with her haunting performance as a possessed tribal girl in Thama. And Rashmika is already one of the most bankable young stars. It is said that for this movie, she charged anywhere between ₹4–8 crore making her one of the top earners in this category.
Anupama Parameswaran, known for her sweet roles, stirred the spirit in herself by going bold in Kishkindhapuri with her spirit-possessed lead. Though her fee is not too big, 1.5–2.5 crore, her transformation was admired, proving that performance can sometimes matter more than pay.
Shraddha Kapoor rose to fame as the mystery woman in the Stree franchise. Thanks to Stree 2, her paycheck apparently will hit ₹6–7 crore, showing impressive box-off appeal. Her character remains one of the most talked-about in the history of Indian horror-comedy cinema.
Manjulika’s comeback as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 should be nothing short of spectacular. Being a powerhouse performer and senior actress, she topped the highest charts, with an estimated fee of ₹8–10 crore, thereby making her the top earner as compared to the other actresses who enacted devil-inspired roles.
Samyuktha Menon was morbid yet electric in Virupaksha. Although her fee was in a range, anywhere from 1 to 1.5 crores, her presence made her one of the hottest talking actresses in thrillers.
