Generally, the remuneration for heroines is significantly lower than that of heroes.
Heroines typically earn between ten lakhs to two crores, while stars like Nayanthara and Trisha command between five to ten crores.
With the rise of pan-India cinema, Bollywood actresses are also being considered for higher fees. Reports suggest that actresses like Mrunal Thakur are paid between three to four crores.
Janhvi Kapoor is the current sensation in Tollywood. She is pairing with NTR in Devara, also lined up a film with Ram Charan and negotiating for a project with Nani.
Her present demand is Rs 8 crores, although this can vary depending on the film.
For instance, her remuneration for the Ram Charan-Buchibabu movie is reported to be just around Rs 3.5 crores. This is the concession she gave for Ram Charan's brand value.
Nani is also in talks with Janhvi for his upcoming film. The exact fee for Nani’s project is still under negotiation.
While with Ram Charan and Mythri involved, the fee stands at approximately Rs 3.5 crores; for Nani’s film, Janhvi might demand an additional fifty lakhs to one crore, as per sources.
This would bring the total cost to over five crores, including all staff and related expenses.
