Told from Sita’s perspective, the film will be mounted on a huge scale and the magnitude of the film will be as big as a Baahubali.

Rashmika Mandanna Sets New Pay Benchmark With ₹15 Crore Deal?
Bollywood’s top actresses have long enjoyed some of the highest paychecks in Indian cinema. Stars like Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have reportedly been commanding remuneration of over ₹15 crore per film for several years, reflecting their immense star power and market value.
Industry reports suggest that Deepika Padukone received more than ₹20 crore for her special appearance in Raaka, starring Allu Arjun. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra is believed to be earning between ₹25 crore and ₹30 crore for her role in Rajamouli’s ambitious upcoming project Varanasi.
Actresses such as Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon are also said to be charging around ₹15 crore per film, highlighting the growing commercial strength of leading female stars in Bollywood.
In contrast, South Indian actresses have traditionally operated in a different pay bracket. Until recently, Nayanthara was widely regarded as the highest-paid actress in the South, reportedly charging anywhere between ₹9 crore and ₹12 crore depending on the scale of the project.
Now, however, Rashmika Mandanna appears to be setting a new benchmark.
According to industry buzz, the actress has reportedly secured a massive ₹15 crore paycheck for the Hindi film Cocktail 2. If true, it would place her among the highest-paid actresses in the country and potentially make her the highest-paid actress from South Indian cinema.
Rashmika’s remarkable rise comes on the back of a series of major successes in the Hindi market. Following the blockbuster performances of Animal, Pushpa 2, and Chhaava, her popularity across North India has grown significantly, strengthening her position as a pan-India star.
With producers increasingly viewing her as a reliable choice for big-budget entertainers, Rashmika’s market value is said to have surged dramatically. As she continues to balance successful projects across multiple industries, the actress is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought-after female stars in Indian cinema today.
