    8 Highest Paid Bollywood OTT Stars and their Exorbitant Fees

    By

    Bollywood is well-known throughout the world for its outstanding stars. Since its inception, it has produced some well-known performers. As a result, our Bollywood stars have begun to follow the trend of appearing on OTT platforms.




    There was a time when the pay disparity between actors on the large and small screens was enormous. With the emergence of OTT, not to mention the growing popularity of OTT services in general, the gap has reduced, albeit it will never be completely closed (and rightly so). Indeed, some actors may argue that OTT has given them a second opportunity or that their audience in cinema has expanded as a result of their online achievement.

    Here is a list of the 8 Highest Paid Bollywood OTT Stars and their Exorbitant Fees

    1. Pankaj Tripathi

    Pankaj Tripathi is one of the Bollywood stars whose profession is at its pinnacle right now. His meteoric rise has captivated audiences with back-to-back significant parts in films and series. Pankaj has been in several productions, including Sacred Games, Mirzapur, Kaagaz, and others. He received Rs. 12 crores for Sacred Games and Rs. 10 crores for Mirzapur’s first chapter.

    1. Saif Ali Khan

    Sacred Games, a Netflix Original show featuring Saif Ali Khan, was the actor’s first excursion into the OTT channel. He favors the term “online streaming entertainment” to “web series.” Saif earned Rs. 15 crores for the 8 episodes of the series. This series also assisted him in getting back on track with a great project after his most recent films underperformed at the box office. There have been two seasons of Sacred Games so far. Tandav, Saif’s follow-up to Sacred Games, is a new OTT film. Tandav received mixed reactions from the audience, as it may have offended some citizens’ religious sentiments.

    1. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui rose to prominence as a result of his exceptional performances in the films Gangs of Wasseypur 2 and Manjhi. He made appearances in Raat Akeli Hai and the Netflix smash series Sacred Games. Nawazuddin Siddiqui reportedly won 10 crores for his outstanding efforts in Season 2 of Sacred Games.

    1. Bobby Deol

    Bobby Deol tried a comeback with Race 3, but the film was critically derided; nonetheless, this did not deter him. He later appeared in the MX Original series Aashram. In contrast, the melodrama not only helped him resurrect his career but also allowed him to earn the Best Actor OTT Series at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Movie Fest 2021.

    1. Ali Fazal

    Ali Fazal was still a long way from achieving the popularity and acclaim he did after participating in films such as Khamoshiyan and Fukrey. At that moment, Mirzapur stood in his path. He was reportedly promised the part of Munna Tripathi, which was afterward performed by Divyendu Sharma. Ali was selected as Guddu Pandit in seasons 1 and 2, receiving Rs 12 lakh rupees every episode. Hence, Mirzapur was the show that enabled him to gain power.
