In the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood cinema, success is often measured by the prestigious 100 crore club. This exclusive club signifies a film’s widespread appeal and commercial triumph at the box office.
Recently, Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan’s psychological thriller “Shaitaan” proudly joined this esteemed league, marking a significant milestone in Indian cinema. Expecting success from the film will not be an exaggeration, and the star cast, with their reported salaries, might have helped a lot to keep the budget of the film in check.
Shaitaan Cast Remuneration
According to the sources from the production house, the film is made with a restricted budget while the actors are paid well. Coming to the salaries of the star cast of Shaitaan, according to reports, Ajay Devgn has charged 25 crores for the film.
Interestingly, the star actor slashed his fee by 16% for this film but took a share of the profit after the success of the film in theatres.
Madhavan R who nailed the role as an antagonist received applauds from the audience for his performance. The actor took home a whopping amount of Rs 10 crore while Jyothika was paid Rs 5 crore.
Shaitaan also marks the comeback of the veteran actress who played the role of a helpless mother who tried to save her daughter as much as she could. Janki Bodiwala, who played the daughter role has been paid Rs 2 – 3 crore.
Ajay Devgn’s price for his last few films has consistently been 30 – 32 crore, be it Drishyam 2 or Bholaa. His taking a pay cut for Shaitaan is a move that should be welcomed and celebrated.
Please note that the reported salaries and numbers are based on floating figures and might vary depending on different sources.
