If reports are to be believed, Prabhas is now the highest-paid actor of India as a whopping Rs 150 for his forthcoming film Adipurush.
After the huge success of Baahubali, Prabhas has become a global icon. While he may not be signing a lot of films, his market value is soaring and reaching new heights.
If reports are to be believed, Prabhas is now the highest-paid actor of India as a whopping Rs 150 for his forthcoming film Adipurush.
An insider revealed to TOI, "Prabhas is way ahead of the Khans and Akshay Kumar who still churn out maximum Hindi releases. His remuneration for ¡®Adipurush¡¯, which is close to 150 crores, surpassed the fee that Salman Khan received for ¡®Sultan¡¯ and ¡®Tiger Zinda Hai¡¯ and what Akshay Kumar charged for ¡®Bell Bottom¡¯."

The source added, "Filmmakers and investors are willing to ride mega-budgets on Prabhas as he is the most dependable actor whose loyal fans ensure he¡¯s ruling on the numero uno spot."
Touted to be a visual extravaganza, the movie is expected to be a treat for VFX fans. While Prabhas is essaying the role of Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon will play Sita. Saif Ali Khan is also a part of the film and will be seen as Ravan.
