Bollywood’s superstar Salman Khan is all set to hit the screens with his much-awaited flick Sikandar this Eid, and fans are counting the days. Made under Sajid Nadiadwala’s production banner and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, this action-thriller is bringing together a cool mix of Bollywood and South Indian stars. Everyone’s excited to see what this combo has in store, but let’s talk about something just as juicy—how much the actors are pocketing for this one. Salman usually charges a hefty 100-150 crore per movie, but for Sikandar, he’s settled at 120 crore. Plus, he’s got a profit-sharing deal, so if the movie rocks the box office, his earnings could shoot up even more. Want to know what the rest of the cast is making? Let’s break it down and see who’s cashing in how much for this big-budget ride!
Salman Khan’s Paycheck – The Big Bucks
Salman Khan, the man of the moment, is leading Sikandar with his usual swagger. Normally, he grabs anywhere between 100-150 crore for his films, but this time, he’s locked in 120 crore for the role. What’s more, he’s been playing smart these past few years with profit-sharing deals. That means if Sikandar turns into a box office goldmine, Salman’s bank account will see a lot more than just that 120 crore. It’s a sweet setup—fixed cash plus a bonus if the movie does well. Fans are betting big on this Eid release, and with Salman’s track record, it’s no surprise he’s still the highest earner in the lineup. His star power alone makes this a massive draw, and he’s clearly banking on the film’s success to rake in the extras. Wondering how the others stack up? Keep reading!
Rashmika Mandanna – From Pushpa to Sikandar
After setting the screen on fire in Pushpa 2, Rashmika Mandanna is teaming up with Salman as the leading lady in Sikandar. She pocketed a cool 10 crore for Pushpa 2, but for this one, she’s getting 5 crore. That’s half of what she charged last time, but it’s still a decent payday for her Bollywood gig. Rashmika’s star is rising fast, and pairing up with Salman is a big deal for her. While we don’t know much about her character yet, her charm and energy are sure to light up the film. It’s interesting to see her fee drop a bit here—maybe it’s about the prestige of working with a legend like Salman or just the project’s budget split. Either way, she’s one to watch in this action-packed thriller!
Kajal Aggarwal and the South Star Power
Kajal Aggarwal is another familiar face joining Sikandar, adding some South Indian flair to the mix. Details about her role are still under wraps, but she’s walking away with 3 crore for her work. That’s a solid amount, though not as high as the leads, which makes sense since her part might not be as big. Kajal’s got a strong fan base down South, and her presence could pull in more viewers from that side. She’s no stranger to big films, so even if her screen time’s limited, she’ll likely leave a mark. Compared to Rashmika’s 5 crore, Kajal’s fee shows the pecking order in this star-studded cast. Curious about the villains? Let’s move on to the bad guys next!
Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar – The Villain Vibes
The baddies in Sikandar are none other than Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar, and they’re keeping the fees modest. Sathyaraj, famous as Katappa from Baahubali, is playing a key villain and getting 50 lakh for it. Not a huge paycheck, but his intense style will probably steal some scenes. Then there’s Prateik Babbar, also stepping into a negative role, earning a bit more at 60 lakh. We don’t know much about their characters yet, but both are solid actors who can bring the heat. Sathyaraj’s South cred and Prateik’s Bollywood roots make this a fun clash. Their fees might be lower than the leads, but in a film this big, every role counts. Wondering how it all ties together? Salman’s still the king of the cash pile here!
