From Rashmika’s ₹5 Cr to Sathyaraj’s modest ₹50 Lakh, here’s the reported pay structure of Sikandar’s cast — with Salman Khan alone taking home 60% of the film’s budget.
March 31, 2025: Salman Khan’s Sikandar, one of 2025’s biggest Eid releases, is already creating buzz — not just for its action-packed drama, but also for its star-studded paychecks. The film, helmed by A.R. Murugadoss, reportedly comes with a massive budget of ₹200 crore, and Bhaijaan has taken home the lion’s share.
💰 Salman Khan: ₹120 Crore
Known for his profit-sharing model, Salman Khan has reportedly broken tradition by taking a fixed salary of ₹120 crore for Sikandar. That’s 60% of the film’s entire budget. It’s still unclear if this includes backend profit-sharing or if it’s a standalone deal.

After her massive success with Pushpa 2 and Chhaava, Rashmika Mandanna was roped in as the leading lady. She’s reportedly been paid ₹5 crore — making Salman’s paycheck a staggering 2300% higher than hers.
