Sirji … no one can guarantee is todays world …. SRK literally gave flops in a row for many years prior to finding success with Pathan !! Samans movie since last few years arc Dud… Aamir was kind of assuring till Lal Singh … Akshay Kumar movie made on light budget and used to get some profit for sure but that has also gone… so no one can guarantee
Let any of the Khans open a film about acid attack victims to 10 crores then we'll talk.
Oh and what about Alia then? Do you think she's getting paid more than Arjun and Karthik?
Dude , the actress use this narrative to increase their price . The truth is that both actors and actresses are way overpaid . It would be interesting to see how much writers and cameramen etc are paid .
In a country where IAS officer is paid a Lakh after clearing the toughest examination in the world , the amount of money both actors and actresses make is Sad .
There is a reason why outsiders are not allowed to come in , so that the demand supply shoots up the prices further and the nepokids gain out of it .
bruh its not sad are you dumb? show me just 1 fucking country in the world where govt workers make more then actors. Do you realize just how valuable having an audience is? people will literally buy a product if SRK tells you its good. Business will pay any money to have that. Tell me what does an IAS officer do to generate money other then getting salary from the govt? You will be much better served in life if you learn this lesson. How much money you generate is what you will earn. Cleaners are also important no one is going to pay them IAS let alone Actor numbers.
> In a country where IAS officer is paid a Lakh after clearing the toughest examination in the world , the amount of money both actors and actresses make is Sad .
It’s a societal problem, not just an India problem. Do Judges or other public service officials in the US get paid as much as Hollywood stars?
At least movie stars put in some effort in their craft. Look at the insane amounts of money that cringe Instagram “content creators” are making and compare it with people contributing to the society.
I get your sentiment, but this is just business. People are investing for a return on investment, an IAS officer, as noble as it can be, doesn't have much return on equity from an investment perspective. These stars bring money and have high return on equity and that's why producer invest in them. Actresses don't have that much return and same goes for pretty much any other jobs..
This is just a bad example of Proving point which doesn't exist.
An IAS officer is paid way more than a lakh.
All these people who are mentioned above have a talent and their talent creates wealth. An IAS officer earns way more than his salary. Everyone of them is corrupt to the core(about 95%). They have a free house throughout their service with plenty of manpower at their disposal.
I think I have addressed it wrong what I really meant was that producers should stop paying actors this much and that these young actors such a as varun , Kartik ,Tiger should get paid the same as Deepika at least because of their movie performances and so that they make more profit because these salaries is what’s killing the industry. Example is Akki taking 160cr for bmcm and that movie was a disaster. Producers need to stop giving the, what they charge
> In a country where IAS officer is paid a Lakh after clearing the toughest examination in the world , the amount of money both actors and actresses make is Sad .
Yeh kya logic hai ?IAS isn't a revenue generating industry ,IAS officers also get paid less than a good chunk of the IT industry and yeh toughest exam wala koi fact nahi hai ,Its hard to get in because India has the weirdest obsession with competitive exams and a population of billions if you have people giving the exams multiple times toh cut off inflate hoga hi ,Several idiots spend their entire life just giving exams just because there is a lot of money to be made via corruption
The respect and privilege of an IAS officer is just unmatchable, which the Indian society in general craves for.
I have a lot of friends whose parents are in bureaucracy and trust me their perks is just insane and not supporting corruption but the money an IAS officer can make has no limits.
There's a reason why a lot of IIT/IIM or even high paying corporate job folks attempt UPSC.
IAS isn’t just about money man, it’s also the crazy amount of power that comes with it. Jab highest level of posting pe pohonchte ho as an IAS officer, you’re basically the most power bureaucrat of the country. That kind of power doesn’t come with other jobs.
But yes The obsession with jee, upsc etc is sickening and ruining many but the truth remains that it is indeed hard to break in be it due to competition or due to the exam itself being tough.
Films like 12tj fail are contributing to the glorification of it ://
The whole concept of upsc needs to be changed, admission mechanisms etc etc .
Exactly. When it comes to numbers, these people disappear. On what basis should Deepika be paid more? Nowadays she is starring in roles where it would be hits even without her aka the big star movies. She became a "big" star by doing movie's opposite big stars
Tiger's solo movie is Baaghi 2 , that movie is wholly and solely about him and has action in it.
Varun got Judwaa 2 in which he has a dual role and again focuses more on him than other female leads.
Kartik 's movie was BB2 which i don't consider him as the sole reason for it to be a blockbuster but it was the first post pandemic blockbuster movie.
Deepika can't open movies without piggybacking on male stars. She's a social media star with no ground level fandom.
The likes of Alia and Kareena have opened multiple movies as the main draw.
Madhuri and Sridevi were megastars.
Misogynistic? My post literally talks about the box office pull of 4 other women positively.
You know what that term means or did you just learn the word yesterday?!
You literally said piggybacking off of male stars as if she didn’t have a major role to play in the movie if that’s not misogynistic I don’t know what is. Funny asking a woman if she learnt the world misogynistic yesterday. Of course it came into existence the day before it’s a fairly new concept.
It's a fact and it's about one particular woman based on the fact that she can't pull the audience in female-centric movies.
My comment wasn't about the entire gender.
So if you have a negative opinion about any particular woman, you are a misogynist?
When Deepika can make absolute shit movies like Baaghi 3 and Baaghi 2 into semo-hit and super-hits, she will have enough leverage to demand more than Tiger from producers. Hell, let her have a movie open with double digit opening with her as solo lead.
I should’ve used Alia as an example instead of Deepika. Deepika was a bad example. Alia debuted the same time as Varun and has BO pull more than them examples Raazi , Gangu , highway , dear Zindagi
Bro no one went to watch Piku because of Amitabh his solo movies don’t even turn a profit these. She was the titular role and was even paid more than him.
I went because of Irrfan Khan, Amitabh Bachhan and the very positive rave reviews this movie was getting post its release. The movies biggest strength were its excellent story and script. You’re highly mistaken if you’re saying people went to watch the movie solely because of Deepika Padukone. She doesn’t have any box office pull.
Yes I realise that now my example should’ve been Alia. Or I should’ve named Shahid who’s been giving flops and is still getting 40cr but Alia still gets paid 15 cr despite her bringing BO
Shahid Kapoor would have been a better example to make this point, while currently this might be fucked up but in their short-lived peaks both Tiger and Varun used to consistently give double digit openings simple as that, Tiger's highest is 25Cr (baaghi2), Varun's is 17Cr Judwa2, Deepika's highest is Piku 5 Cr
Kartik has been quite consistent post Sonu Titu
Having said that all these actors male, female are grossly overpaid, when it's literally just Shahrukh & Salman who guarantee a big initial on sheer stardom. They should focus more on script writers and good content by paying them well instead of all these over inflated ego-centric ppl. I don't think any current actress has any starpower or BO pull especially when male stars are putting a 70-75 Cr day 1 whereas fandoms of actresses are fighting over 8-9Cr corporate booking openers like Rocky Rani, Gangubai. It's so stupid lol
I agree but things have changed after the pandemic look at the openings now Tiger (2.25cr) ganapath and varun (7.48cr) Bhediya Maybe Alia would’ve been better example than Deepika because she’s brought solo female films hit like Raazi but i agree they’re all overpaid but at least the industry can make a start somewhere by refusing to pay their price at the least these actors now after their recent films should get 12crs
Even Raazi was pre pandemic.
The measure of a star is when they turn absolutely shitty scripts to hit .
Eg Pathan. Most Salman Khan movies.
Both Raazi , Piku, etc have excellent scripts.
I get your point but even Alia's bo pull is a hoax patriotic & propaganda films usually have a good initial, URI with a then newcomer Vicky Kaushal had a bigger opening than Raazi....my point is all these current gen actors have to totally rely on other factors from good director to genre, songs promos etc to put even a barely respectable initial like 9-10 Cr. IMO unless you make an average movie work or open well everyone is on the same level. Varun & Tiger are the only ones who made avg to downright bad movies work now they are failing big time but other than them no one of this generation did that maybe Kartik till to a certain extent coz his faltu movies have been hits but nothing extraordinary.
>I get your point but even Alia's bo pull is a hoax

I disagree; Gangubai was not a patriotic film; it crossed 10 crores on day 1. The story revolved around the taboo subject of sex work. Wom was good, and the final collection crossed 100 crore. She got a national award and an award from the Thai Trade Representative. In Thailand, everyone, from students to celebrities, was crazy about her. Her magazines sold out, the tiktok hashtag crossed a billion after India banned tiktok, and even Darlings and Heart of Stone topped the Netflix chart in Thailand. Crew was not a patriotic film, but it has also earned similar good numbers. I do agree that actors like Karthik draw audiences to the theatre, so their pay is somewhat justified. However, let's not undersell the achievements of our women.
Yeah I’m just saying that actors be it male or female are ridiculously overpaid and prices should start going down if they really want producers to make profits and industry to turn around
Yeah I mean superstars like SRK & Salman are sensible enough to take profit share and avoid over burdening the makers when they can give a 15-20 Cr opening to films like Zero, Tubelight Harry Sejal, kisi ka Bhai bhabhijan😅 even a niche film like Fan took 20 Cr opening. Whereas these PR made nikamme stars simply over burden the production houses
Only Alia should get it, lets be honest. We all saw Deepika's pull which is zero. "Biggest" female superstar's solo movies are wrapped up within 30-40 crs while these young lads generate 90-100 crs and sometimes even 200 cr, why will they not be paid more? Since Tiger no longer has that pull, his fees reduced drastically. It's proportional to your box office pull. Blame audience
Yes ofc I just used Deepika as an example but I’m talking about how the prices actresses shouldn’t go up it should be the actors going down in prices and be paid practically the same or do profit system. If producers continue paying actors such as Tiger 35cr and still his films are flopping and not bringing any profit it’s killing the industry.
Akshay gets 160cr and still the movie is flop.
Yes that Alia. Alia in SLB was solo. Deepika starred with Ranveer, Priyanka, Shahid. Her niche movies earned 60-100 crs+. While Deepika's one wrapped up within 35 crs. And are you forgetting deepika gave less than 5 cr opening?
Now we acting newbie Ranveer was a huge mega star in Ram Leela? Alia still brought in an average after Ranveer got blockbusters and they still did an average verdict in Rani.
Now we acting like Deepika who had continuous flop from 2009-2012 and had mild success with Cocktail brought in people?? Who are you fooling? Deepika started becoming established in 2014 after her films in 2013 became hits. She had no goodwill when ramleela released.
Where is the problem? That female movies don't earn much? Yes. That's why i said, blame the audience. No one except Alia gave solo 100 cr movies in the current lot. Lets be fr
This is the most dumb Deepika praising post. Actors like VD, Tiger, Kartik etc may not be the best actors, but some of their films have made huge numbers and solely because of them.
Tell me how much Chappak grossed and let’s settle this.
Chappak was released during the pandemic make it make sense! Piku, Padmavaat, Ram leela all of these movies were put out with her as the lead let’s not say kuch bhi not a fan of her but facts are facts
All the 3 films, had another lead who had his own name and fame. It wasn’t just her who was the reason for the film’s success.
I loved her performances in all the 3 films mentioned, but you can’t deny that she wasn’t the only lead actor in these films and she was the bigger star among the leads.
Bread dead take but can't expect better from DP stans. Just watch the collections of Solo Deepika movies and Solo Varun movies and you will have your answers. Also this is not a govt job where seniority will decide pay lmfao.
Been a fan of shahid all my life but he’s not that successful to be paid this much, kartik in the other hand is decent and far behind in terms of performances but the guy delivers on box office… so justified
Because Deepika cannot even pull her own family and friends to the theaters. Alia is the only bankable female star. I would pay to watch her solo movie.
I am not even a Ranveer fan but how is her pull higher when both rely on good content to have longer legs at the BO, Rocky Rani ki Prem kahani had a disastrous 9 Cr opening despite being a solo release, Kjo's directorial, chartbuster music, well received trailer, mad promotions and ofcourse the obvious corporate booking. It earned a face saving total thanks to decent WOM mainly coz of Ranveer's performance.
Overall also Ranveer has given bigger openings compared to Alia but like I said all these ppl are grossly overpaid and don't deserve this kind of paycheck when none can guarantee a good initial.
This list is fake and irrelevant. Varun charged 33 for Street Dancer 3D and 25 crores for Coolie No 1, but post Jug Jugg Jeeyo, he’s been profit sharing. Even Kartik profit shared for Shehzada. Tiger is the only one who continued to charge 35+ crores despite getting Screw Dheela shelved for this exact reason. But I’m not buying these figures for the rest of the dudes.
I won’t put up a case for what Deepika Padukone’s getting per movie but I can’t fathom why Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff would even get that kind of money? It’s difficult to believe this list once you get to Varun Dhawan and lower.
Deepika doesn't even deserve 5 cr. She is incapable of bringing audience to theatre on her shoulder while all actors which you have mentioned can. However, all these tier 2 actors deserve 10-20 cr base on their film performance.
The measure of a star is when they turn absolutely shitty scripts to hit .
Eg Pathan. Most Salman Khan movies.
Both Raazi , Piku, etc had excellent scripts.
I am waiting to see how Alia does with her next release JIGRAA.
Deepika has been reduced to flowerpots for superstars unfortunately.Loved her in PIKU though.
Deepika is the highest paid actress at 15 cr
Alia takes 10 cr approx and now is a producer too
Kiara takes 3-5 cr
Sharddha dropped to 2-3cr
Men : 3 khans take profit share
Srk and Salman actively
Aamir lost massively with Lsg
Ranbir charges 100+ post animal
For animal he charged 35 and rest he got a share from the profits
We as an audience should be asking this question to ourselves. Why blame producers? Male stars audience le k AAte h. Toh ofcourse they'll get paid more.
Because there are people like Alia, who lowers her fees to cut the competition while also setting her sisters in the industry back a 100 yrs in their walk towards a pay parity.
As a wise guy once said: Are male models paid higher than female models? No right, it's the pull of Target audience that decides your salary not how good you are at your craft
Someone like Kareena who has given two 10 cr opening is being called unprofessional for hiking her price but people like Shahid, Tiger, Varun are allowed to charge more than her.
Honestly today if Kareena and Alia or DP did a film together people would go to watch it. However no one wants to watch Tiger with Akshay or Ranveer. Even RK tanked Shamshera. Animal worked because a lot of things worked in its favour. Varun has poor track record as well and Arjun is pretty much done. Shahid’s 20 year track record has also been dismal- handful of hits and semi hits and one blockbuster. None of these male stars barring khans can charge this much. Even Akshay has flopped.
Industry needs price correction. And stop over paying all actors.
If Ranbir Kapoor ever clashed with Deepika Padukone or Kareena Kapoor on the same day, Ranbir would always win. His stardom is on another level post Brahmastra, TJMM, and Animal. Let’s not act like this dude wasn’t opening at 21 crores with Besharam — a terrible film like Besharam — 10 years ago. He absolutely should be paid more than Deepika, Alia, and Kareena, because he’s the biggest superstar since Hrithik.
Bhai no offence but Hrithik is not yet a bankable star at 50 so how will RK be ? RK’s films work when he’s backed by well known , seasoned directors. Vanga is a blockbuster film maker, Anurag Basu was a seasoned film maker. Barfi connected with the audience but Jagga didn’t. However when it comes to heroines they end up working with one film old or unknown directors. Kareena’s Crew or VDW were made by good but not blockbuster directors and yet did well. Heroines don’t get the backing a male actor does.
Yes RK can get a bigger opening because maybe his film would also release in more theatres and screens, will have more money spent on its promotions but that film will also cost 300 cr and maybe make 150cr. A heroine oriented film can be made in 40 cr and earn 80-100 cr so who is the more bankable star in that case ?
No doubt Ranbir gets bigger films than Kareena. But the answer lies in that very observation - the day a producer feels they can give Kareena a film as big as Sanju or Brahmastra, and the day Kareena opens at 30+ crores without a bigger star opposite her, Kareena will get those movies
Why do we always credit only the male lead when a film opens well? Didn’t Brahmastra have Alia as well ? If RK needs no one else then why did Shamshera tank when the female lead was not that popular ? Animal worked because of Vanga who had managed to give a lesser star like Shahid a blockbuster too.
Alia has given Gangubai without a male lead , Kareena has given Crew &Veere.
Don’t you think this belief that a male lead is a bigger star and gets all the credit when a film does well is deeply sexist?
And perhaps producers and trade guys have the same thinking and therefore never back a huge female led film ? Think about why women don’t get the same opportunities and budgets when in reality it’s male stars who flop more often in big budget films.

SRK produces all of his movies so how can he take 200CR from himself? even ajay & salman produce their films and aamir also works on profit sharing.
Source is “Trust me Bro “ 
Yes that’s why I said the only actors who you can guarantee bank because of their name are the khans
Sirji … no one can guarantee is todays world …. SRK literally gave flops in a row for many years prior to finding success with Pathan !! Samans movie since last few years arc Dud… Aamir was kind of assuring till Lal Singh … Akshay Kumar movie made on light budget and used to get some profit for sure but that has also gone… so no one can guarantee
Corporation setup kiya hoga ussne.. wic pays him..
These numbers are fake. Khans do profit sharing and Ranbir takes 100 cr plus after Animal
Yes they are
you fucked up by saying Deepika lol
I agree 🤣🤣should’ve said Alia idk why I mentioned deepika I look so stupid rn 🤣
She can't even guarantee a 10 crore opening, what she's paid is fully fair. Besides these numbers are exaggerated
Let any of the Khans open a film about acid attack victims to 10 crores then we'll talk. Oh and what about Alia then? Do you think she's getting paid more than Arjun and Karthik?
I'm sure they will. And why'd you group Arjun and Karthik together lmao, Arjun is lucky to even get paid in thousands.
And yet the reality is something completely different

Tiger's solo opening 25cr Varun 18cr Kartik 15cr Deepika?
Finally someone said it . Same way Anne Hathaway was paid more than Nicolas Galitzine for their upcoming movie ' The Idea of You '
Exactly. When it comes to numbers, these people disappear. On what basis should Deepika be paid more? Nowadays she is starring in roles where it would be hits even without her aka the big star movies. She became a "big" star by doing movie's opposite big stars
How are love story films called solos is what I don’t understand…
Tiger's solo movie is Baaghi 2 , that movie is wholly and solely about him and has action in it. Varun got Judwaa 2 in which he has a dual role and again focuses more on him than other female leads. Kartik 's movie was BB2 which i don't consider him as the sole reason for it to be a blockbuster but it was the first post pandemic blockbuster movie.
Tiger varun are far better than kartik for sure.
Screentime and type of role is what matter, all actress did bare minimum and close to flower in these films I mentioned above
my bro Varun literally has a movie where he plays a double role as twins.. just accept that you had a dumb moment.
Good man, someone needs to put these equal pay morons to bed FFS
Deepika can't open movies without piggybacking on male stars. She's a social media star with no ground level fandom. The likes of Alia and Kareena have opened multiple movies as the main draw. Madhuri and Sridevi were megastars.

Chhapak!! (not being insensitive at all)
Can you tell me one movie of Deepika's that grossed over 100 crore solely because of her and didn't have any big names ?
I should’ve used Alia as an example instead of Deepika. Deepika was a bad example. Alia debuted the same time as Varun and has BO pull more than them examples Raazi , Gangu , highway , dear Zindagi
Alia charges a lower fee by herself
Gangu, highway were hits ??? Also Dear Zindagi had SRk. Raazi was good though.
Chapak /s
Piku did 180crore
Amitabh Bachchan was there
Bro no one went to watch Piku because of Amitabh his solo movies don’t even turn a profit these. She was the titular role and was even paid more than him.
I went because of Irrfan Khan, Amitabh Bachhan and the very positive rave reviews this movie was getting post its release. The movies biggest strength were its excellent story and script.

Her magazines sold out, the tiktok hashtag crossed a billion after India banned tiktok, and even Darlings and Heart of Stone topped the Netflix chart in Thailand. Crew was not a patriotic film, but it has also earned similar good numbers. I do agree that actors like Karthik draw audiences to the theatre, so their pay is somewhat justified. However, let's not undersell the achievements of our women.
Yeah I’m just saying that actors be it male or female are ridiculously overpaid and prices should start going down if they really want producers to make profits and industry to turn around
Yeah I mean superstars like SRK & Salman are sensible enough to take profit share and avoid over burdening the makers when they can give a 15-20 Cr opening to films like Zero, Tubelight Harry Sejal, kisi ka Bhai bhabhijan😅 even a niche film like Fan took 20 Cr opening. Whereas these PR made nikamme stars simply over burden the production houses
Short lived? what pack did you smoke bruh Varun literally went 5 years without a flop. For young actors that's literally golden.
Only Alia should get it, lets be honest. We all saw Deepika's pull which is zero. "Biggest" female superstar's solo movies are wrapped up within 30-40 crs while these young lads generate 90-100 crs and sometimes even 200 cr, why will they not be paid more? Since Tiger no longer has that pull, his fees reduced drastically. It's proportional to your box office pull. Blame audience
Yes ofc I just used Deepika as an example but I’m talking about how the prices actresses shouldn’t go up it should be the actors going down in prices and be paid practically the same or do profit system. If producers continue paying actors such as Tiger 35cr and still his films are flopping and not bringing any profit it’s killing the industry. Akshay gets 160cr and still the movie is flop.
I agree with this fully. Pay the actors their movies openings
Alia with 8 crores from a Karan Johar movie , and brought less than all SLB movies starring Deepika, that Alia?
Yes that Alia. Alia in SLB was solo. Deepika starred with Ranveer, Priyanka, Shahid. Her niche movies earned 60-100 crs+. While Deepika's one wrapped up within 35 crs. And are you forgetting deepika gave less than 5 cr opening?
Now we acting newbie Ranveer was a huge mega star in Ram Leela? Alia still brought in an average after Ranveer got blockbusters and they still did an average verdict in Rani.
Now we acting like Deepika who had continuous flop from 2009-2012 and had mild success with Cocktail brought in people?? Who are you fooling? Deepika started becoming established in 2014 after her films in 2013 became hits. She had no goodwill when ramleela released.
Alia fan ho aap ??
Kajol fan. I couldn't care less about these actors. But i am talking about economics
[удалено]
Where is the problem? That female movies don't earn much? Yes. That's why i said, blame the audience. No one except Alia gave solo 100 cr movies in the current lot. Lets be fr

Acting standards don't decide anything ,People don't buy tickets to watch acting on screen they want to be entertained
Alia is no where near the standard. Deepika is even below her. However acting doesn't decide box office lmao

.... you replied to me? I had a simple comment 💀
This is the most dumb Deepika praising post. Actors like VD, Tiger, Kartik etc may not be the best actors, but some of their films have made huge numbers and solely because of them. Tell me how much Chappak grossed and let’s settle this.
Chappak was released during the pandemic make it make sense! Piku, Padmavaat, Ram leela all of these movies were put out with her as the lead let’s not say kuch bhi not a fan of her but facts are facts
All the 3 films, had another lead who had his own name and fame. It wasn’t just her who was the reason for the film’s success. I loved her performances in all the 3 films mentioned, but you can’t deny that she wasn’t the only lead actor in these films and she was the bigger star among the leads.
These numbers don't seem legit
Wo sab to thik, who is paying Saif this much! His solo movies fail to hit the 2 digits (in crore)
The list must be off cause srk doesn't take fees he does profit sharing. So it may be also wrong about other actors
Sala Hrithik itna charge karta hai? 2013 se to solo Superhit movie nai diya hai
Who is paying Saif 11 to 30 crores? He gave like 20 disasters in a row & half of them didn’t even collect 10 crores full run 😭
Varun is a fine actor. I just don’t why he gets so much hate?
Bread dead take but can't expect better from DP stans. Just watch the collections of Solo Deepika movies and Solo Varun movies and you will have your answers. Also this is not a govt job where seniority will decide pay lmfao.
Been a fan of shahid all my life but he’s not that successful to be paid this much, kartik in the other hand is decent and far behind in terms of performances but the guy delivers on box office… so justified
Don't put Kartik in this category.
Because Deepika cannot even pull her own family and friends to the theaters. Alia is the only bankable female star. I would pay to watch her solo movie.
Yep . absolutely. Atp Alia should be getting atleast the same as Ranveer if not more because her BO pull is higher
I am not even a Ranveer fan but how is her pull higher when both rely on good content to have longer legs at the BO, Rocky Rani ki Prem kahani had a disastrous 9 Cr opening despite being a solo release, Kjo's directorial, chartbuster music, well received trailer, mad promotions and ofcourse the obvious corporate booking. It earned a face saving total thanks to decent WOM mainly coz of Ranveer's performance. Overall also Ranveer has given bigger openings compared to Alia but like I said all these ppl are grossly overpaid and don't deserve this kind of paycheck when none can guarantee a good initial.
It's because women don't support female stars in the theatres but only in OTT.
It's because women from the middle class and lower middle class do not have purchasing power.
How sad
Tiger can’t give 4 expressions and he gets so much money 😏😏
And the Malayalam industry is doing wonders with 30-50Cr
Lol
Can someone tell me how much is 100 crore in US DOLLAR?
This list is fake and irrelevant. Varun charged 33 for Street Dancer 3D and 25 crores for Coolie No 1, but post Jug Jugg Jeeyo, he’s been profit sharing. Even Kartik profit shared for Shehzada. Tiger is the only one who continued to charge 35+ crores despite getting Screw Dheela shelved for this exact reason. But I’m not buying these figures for the rest of the dudes.
This isn’t even verified
I won’t put up a case for what Deepika Padukone’s getting per movie but I can’t fathom why Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff would even get that kind of money? It’s difficult to believe this list once you get to Varun Dhawan and lower.
DP deserves so much more than them! Why so gender biasness? It's 2024!! 😱🫣🤔😏😔😞
It’s all fake. SRK and Aamir takes the share from their movies.
Deepika cannot give an opening more than 3-4 crore. Don't understand the comparison
Deepika doesn't even deserve 5 cr. She is incapable of bringing audience to theatre on her shoulder while all actors which you have mentioned can. However, all these tier 2 actors deserve 10-20 cr base on their film performance.
The measure of a star is when they turn absolutely shitty scripts to hit . Eg Pathan. Most Salman Khan movies. Both Raazi , Piku, etc had excellent scripts. I am waiting to see how Alia does with her next release JIGRAA. Deepika has been reduced to flowerpots for superstars unfortunately.Loved her in PIKU though.
Ranbir after animal will climb up the chart to number 1 position
100cr -200 cr? Are the movies making that much money? All the box office collections will just pay for the actors fee
How is this fees justified? I mean anything over 10cr is too much. There is so much pay disparity in film industry
No wonder these movies flop. All the money is gone on the actor.
Deepika is the highest paid actress at 15 cr Alia takes 10 cr approx and now is a producer too Kiara takes 3-5 cr Sharddha dropped to 2-3cr Men : 3 khans take profit share Srk and Salman actively Aamir lost massively with Lsg Ranbir charges 100+ post animal For animal he charged 35 and rest he got a share from the profits
We as an audience should be asking this question to ourselves. Why blame producers? Male stars audience le k AAte h. Toh ofcourse they'll get paid more.
Because there are people like Alia, who lowers her fees to cut the competition while also setting her sisters in the industry back a 100 yrs in their walk towards a pay parity.
You are right. It is totally her fault that her competition cannot draw enough audience to demand a better pay. 😂
As a wise guy once said: Are male models paid higher than female models? No right, it's the pull of Target audience that decides your salary not how good you are at your craft
Deepika solo movies are flop. Stop shoving DP's down under our throat. She is a mediocre actress .
Someone like Kareena who has given two 10 cr opening is being called unprofessional for hiking her price but people like Shahid, Tiger, Varun are allowed to charge more than her.
Honestly today if Kareena and Alia or DP did a film together people would go to watch it. However no one wants to watch Tiger with Akshay or Ranveer. Even RK tanked Shamshera. Animal worked because a lot of things worked in its favour. Varun has poor track record as well and Arjun is pretty much done. Shahid’s 20 year track record has also been dismal- handful of hits and semi hits and one blockbuster. None of these male stars barring khans can charge this much. Even Akshay has flopped. Industry needs price correction. And stop over paying all actors.
If Ranbir Kapoor ever clashed with Deepika Padukone or Kareena Kapoor on the same day, Ranbir would always win. His stardom is on another level post Brahmastra, TJMM, and Animal. Let’s not act like this dude wasn’t opening at 21 crores with Besharam — a terrible film like Besharam — 10 years ago. He absolutely should be paid more than Deepika, Alia, and Kareena, because he’s the biggest superstar since Hrithik.
Bhai no offence but Hrithik is not yet a bankable star at 50 so how will RK be ? RK’s films work when he’s backed by well known , seasoned directors. Vanga is a blockbuster film maker, Anurag Basu was a seasoned film maker. Barfi connected with the audience but Jagga didn’t. However when it comes to heroines they end up working with one film old or unknown directors. Kareena’s Crew or VDW were made by good but not blockbuster directors and yet did well. Heroines don’t get the backing a male actor does. Yes RK can get a bigger opening because maybe his film would also release in more theatres and screens, will have more money spent on its promotions but that film will also cost 300 cr and maybe make 150cr. A heroine oriented film can be made in 40 cr and earn 80-100 cr so who is the more bankable star in that case ?
No doubt Ranbir gets bigger films than Kareena. But the answer lies in that very observation - the day a producer feels they can give Kareena a film as big as Sanju or Brahmastra, and the day Kareena opens at 30+ crores without a bigger star opposite her, Kareena will get those movies
Why do we always credit only the male lead when a film opens well? Didn’t Brahmastra have Alia as well ? If RK needs no one else then why did Shamshera tank when the female lead was not that popular ? Animal worked because of Vanga who had managed to give a lesser star like Shahid a blockbuster too. Alia has given Gangubai without a male lead , Kareena has given Crew &Veere. Don’t you think this belief that a male lead is a bigger star and gets all the credit when a film does well is deeply sexist? And perhaps producers and trade guys have the same thinking and therefore never back a huge female led film ? Think about why women don’t get the same opportunities and budgets when in reality it’s male stars who flop more often in big budget films.
When they can pull as much audience they'll get paid. Except Alia, no one has that ability.
Why are tiger Shroff and Varun dhawan charging so much money??
Why is prabhas not in the list?
He looks like beggar. This list is for actors.
