Whenever a Bollywood actor/actress signs a South Indian project, they are definitely going to get the biggest paycheque of her career. This has been the norm for the past few decades. For some reason, Bollywood artists who don’t know the language and couldn’t give apt expressions will get paid more than South actors who can actually perform.
With the ‘Pan-India’ cinema becoming a trend in Tollywood, a lot of star heroes are keen on working with Bollywood stars as they may improve the film’s chances of performing in the North. We have seen Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and others working with Prabhas. Kiara Advani and Alia Bhatt too have worked in movies like ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ and ‘RRR’ respectively. Ajay Devgn did ‘RRR’ and many others. As we know, all of them were paid huge amounts to work in these projects.
Currently, Arjun Rampal is playing the negative role in ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ while Emraan Hashmi is the villain in ‘OG’. Apart from them, Saif Ali Khan is the antagonist in NTR’s ‘Devara’ while Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor is the heroine in the same film. Kiara is doing ‘Game Changer’ while we know how Mrunal is busy working on Telugu projects like ‘Hi Nanna’ with Nani and Vijay Deverakonda’s film.
As per reports, Saif is getting 14 crores in remuneration which is on par with some of the mid-level heroes in Tollywood. There is news of Janhvi getting 4 crores for ‘Devara’ as well and it is expected to be the highest remuneration for a heroine in the Telugu industry till date. Even Mrunal Thakur is getting more than 3 crores for her Telugu projects each and the latest update claims that Sanjay Dutt is being offered 10 crores for playing the villain in Ram and Puri’s ‘Double Ismart’. Do you think they deserve these huge paycheques?

Mahavatar Parashuram Glimpse Gets Mixed Reactions
Mahavatar Narasimha turned out to be one of the biggest surprises in Indian cinema last year. Released without massive expectations, the film impressed audiences with its storytelling and visuals. Originally made in Kannada, it later expanded its reach through dubbed versions in multiple languages, eventually enjoying a strong theatrical run and reportedly collecting over ₹400 crore worldwide—an exceptional feat for an animated film.
The film’s success brought significant recognition to its creators, with Hombale Films stepping in to support its wider release and benefiting from its box office performance. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, the makers announced plans to build a full-fledged mythological franchise, exploring stories of iconic characters from Indian lore.
As part of this vision, the team recently unveiled Mahavatar Parashuram. Along with the announcement, a short glimpse was released to offer a first look at the project. However, the teaser has received mixed reactions from viewers.
A section of the audience felt that the visuals lacked originality, with some even questioning the quality of the animation. There has also been speculation about the possible use of artificial intelligence in creating certain visuals, especially given the recent surge of AI-generated mythological content circulating on social media.
This has led to some disappointment among fans, who expected the franchise to maintain the high standards set by Mahavatar Narasimha. At the same time, others believe it may be too early to judge the film based on a brief glimpse and remain optimistic that the final product will deliver a more polished experience.
Directed by Ashwin Kumar, Mahavatar Parashuram is currently slated for release in 2027. Despite the early criticism, the project continues to generate curiosity, with audiences keen to see how the franchise evolves from here.
