Hey! So, there’s a lot of buzz right now about The Raja Saab since it just hit screens (released Jan 9, 2026, if I remember right). It’s that big horror-comedy with Prabhas that everyone's been waiting for. I looked into the reports about what the cast got paid because the budget for this thing is massive—like ₹400 to ₹450 crore!

| PRABOSS Takes The Big Cut |
Here is the breakdown of what the stars reportedly took home. Just keep in mind, these aren't official numbers from the producers (they usually keep this stuff quiet), but this is what all the major trade sources are saying:
| Actor | Role | Estimated Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Prabhas | Lead Hero | ₹100 Crore |
| Sanjay Dutt | Main Antagonist (Ghost) | ₹5 - ₹6 Crore |
| Riddhi Kumar | Anitha (Pivotal Role) | ₹3 Crore |
| Malavika Mohanan | Bhairavi (Lead Actress) | ₹2 Crore |
| Nidhhi Agerwal | Lead Actress | ₹1 - ₹1.5 Crore |
| Anupam Kher | Supporting Role | ₹1 Crore |
| Brahmanandam | Comedy Role | ₹80 Lakh |
Some interesting bits I found:
Prabhas' Pay Cut: This is the big one. Usually, he charges around ₹150 crore (like he did for Adipurush or Spirit), but for The Raja Saab, he reportedly took a 33% pay cut to bring it down to ₹100 crore. Apparently, he did this to help the makers put more money into the VFX and the massive sets. Pretty cool of him, actually.
Malavika Mohanan: This is her big Tollywood debut! She’s playing a character named Bhairavi and got a solid ₹2 crore for it.
Sanjay Dutt: Sanju Baba is playing a "menacing ghost" (sounds scary, right?) and his fee is around ₹5-6 crore. It’s a pretty big deal to see him in a Telugu movie like this.
Director Maruthi: He didn't just direct; he spent almost three years on this project. Reports say he was paid about ₹18 crore, which is the highest he's ever gotten.
It’s crazy how much money goes into these movies. Even with Prabhas taking a "smaller" fee, his salary alone is still about a quarter of the whole budget!
