While his fee for Pushpa The Rise was around 45 crore rupees, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has hiked his fee to nearly double that amount for the sequel.
And not only Arjun, Pushpa director Sukumar is also said to have also hiked his price considerably for the sequel.
A source from Hyderabad confirms, “Arjun’s fee for the Pushpa sequel is around Rs 85 crores which is a new record in the Telugu film industry.”
One doesn’t know how much the director Sukumar is being paid. But it is a lot more than what he got for Pushpa The Rise
A source close to the Allu family tells me, “Arjun’s equation with the box office has changed after Pushpa. Though Pushpa The Rise was not such a grand hit in Andhra and Telangana its pan-India success places him above Prabhas in the all-India market.”
