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?

Alpha Leads, Rao Bahadur Wins Among Telugu Releases in US
The North American box office witnessed a competitive weekend with the release of two Telugu films and a major Hindi release, while Samantha’s Maa Inti Bangaaram continued its impressive theatrical run.
Leading the Indian box office in North America was Alia Bhatt’s spy thriller Alpha, which collected approximately $574K during its opening weekend. Although it emerged as the highest-grossing Indian release of the weekend, the film’s opening has been widely viewed as below expectations for a high-budget Bollywood production headlined by one of the industry’s biggest stars.
Among the Telugu releases, Rao Bahadur, starring Satyadev, emerged as the clear winner. The film earned around $295K in its opening weekend, a respectable start considering the actor’s relatively modest overseas market. Positive reviews and encouraging word of mouth are expected to help sustain its performance in the coming days.
On the other hand, the fantasy adventure Nagabandham struggled to make an impact at the North American box office. Despite its large-scale production and ambitious visuals, the film managed to collect only about $110K during its opening weekend. With the current trend showing limited audience traction, the prospects for a strong recovery appear slim.
Meanwhile, Samantha’s Maa Inti Bangaaram continued its remarkable overseas journey by surpassing the $2 million mark in North America. The milestone further strengthens the film’s position as one of the biggest Telugu box office successes in the region this year and highlights its sustained popularity among overseas audiences.
