November 17, 2024: Allu Arjun has officially become the highest-paid actor in India, setting a new benchmark in the film industry. The Pushpa star reportedly charged an astronomical ₹300 crore for the much-anticipated sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule. This massive figure not only cements his position at the top but also outshines the previous record held by Vijay Thalapathy, who allegedly charged ₹200 crore for his upcoming film G.O.A.T.
Breaking Records
Allu Arjun’s record-breaking fee of ₹300 crore has taken the industry by storm. According to Track Tollywood, this staggering amount surpasses the total box office collections of several blockbuster films. The actor’s meteoric rise in fame, especially after the sensational success of Pushpa: The Rise in 2021, has paved the way for such a landmark achievement.
The first installment of Pushpa became a cultural phenomenon, winning hearts across the globe and proving to be a box-office juggernaut despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. With such a strong foundation, expectations for the sequel are sky-high, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s theatrical release on December 5.
Allu Arjun Surpasses Vijay Thalapathy
Before Arjun’s milestone, Vijay Thalapathy was considered the highest-paid actor in the country. Reports suggest that Thalapathy had charged ₹200 crore for G.O.A.T., in which he plays dual roles. However, Arjun’s fee for Pushpa 2: The Rule has now set a new industry benchmark, placing him ahead of not just Vijay but also Bollywood stalwarts like Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas.
Star-Studded Cast and Release
Pushpa 2: The Rule will bring back Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles. The film has generated immense buzz, not just for its storyline but also for its high-octane action sequences and the return of Arjun’s iconic performance. With a scheduled release date of December 5, the sequel is poised to dominate the box office and rewrite cinematic history.
As Arjun continues to break barriers and redefine success, Pushpa 2 stands as a testament to his growing influence in the Indian film industry. Fans are now counting down the days to witness the actor reprise his iconic role in one of the most anticipated films of the year.
