Salaar is an upcoming Kannada movie which will be directed by the KGF fame Prashanth Neel and produced under the banner of Hombale Films. The story of Salaar will be tied to KGF, and we can expect the film to have significance in the upcoming films in the KGF verse. Here we have covered the things you need to know about Salaar Budget, Cast Fees and Box Office Collection.
Salaar Budget
Salaar, which stars Prabhas in the lead role, was first planned to be made on a budget of Rs 200 Crore. However, as the movie’s shooting progressed, the film’s budget surpassed the value set by the production house by over 40%. The new budget of Salaar after the increase in production cost is Rs 240 Crore. This has made Salaar the most expensive Kannada movie ever, surpassing the budget of KGF Chapter 2.
Salaar Cast Salary
Prabhas plays the titular role in Salaar for Rs 100 Crores as his salary for the film. He will also be paid 10% of the film’s profit at the box office. Prabhas has closed the biggest deal in the history of Indian cinema as Salaar is expected to become a huge hit, and he can earn as much as Rs 100 Crores more from the movie profits. The total fees of Prabhas for Salaar are estimated to cross Rs 200 Crores after the movie is released in the theatres.
Shruti Haasan is roped in to play the main female lead Aadya in Salaar. She is reportedly charging Rs 8 Crores as her fees for this movie. Prithviraj Sukumaran is going to play Vardharaja Mannaar in the film, and he has charged Rs 4 Crores as his fee for Salaar. Veteran South Indian actor Jagapathi Babu is playing the vital role of Raja Mannaar in Salaar and is being paid Rs 4 Crores for his role.
Easwari Rao is essaying the role of Salaar’s mother in the film for a substantial fee of around Rs 60 Lakhs.
Salaar Box Office Collection Prediction
Salaar box office collection is expected to be at least Rs 500 Crore in India. The movie is anticipated to be one of the biggest hits from Kannada cinema, but we do not see it breaking the record of KGF Chapter 2 at the box office. We expect Salaar to cross the mark of Rs 100 Crore at the box office in the first five days. After its run for two weeks at the box office, the movie is expected to rope in lesser cash at the box office with each passing day.
Salaar will earn Rs 500 Crore at the box office to become one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. However, Prabhas will not be able to break the records set by his films Bahubali 1 and 2 at the box office. Homable Films is likely to announce Salaar 2 after the success of the first movie at the box office.
