Shruti charges Rs.1.25 Cr If actors have been increasing their salaries over the years, so have the actresses in Tollywood. One of the most sought after actresses of southern film industry, Shruti Haasan will be romancing Mahesh Babu in her upcoming Telugu film.
Directed by Koratala Shiva, the film will go onto the sets from November. Grapevine is that Shruti has charged Rs 1.25 crore as remuneration for this untitled Mahesh-starrer.
The success of Race Gurram and Yevadu has landed the actress in 1 crore pay bracket. Earlier, Shruti used to charge between Rs 50 lakhs-Rs 75 lakhs per film, and the back-to-back success of these films has paved her way to hike her salary and the producers are willing to pay the actress anywhere from Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.25 crore.
It is also speculated that the cinematographer of the film Madhi of Mirchi and Run Raja Run fame also increased his remuneration to Rs 1.5 crore. So, if Rs 3 crore goes to Shruti and Madhi as salary, we can expect how much budget the makers are willing to pump into this project.
