Ram Charan is widely praised for being grounded and respectful, especially towards producers, and this reputation has been reaffirmed by a recent rumor in Tollywood.
Following his pan-India success with RRR, Charan is working on a highly anticipated film, leading to speculation about his remuneration. Would he command a hundred crores or more?
In Tollywood, it's common for mega stars to not take big advances or remuneration until after the completion of a film.
Charan is no different, and his remuneration for this film seems to have been finalized post-production.
The film experienced slow production and multiple delays, causing costs to rise and interest on investment to accumulate.
In light of this, it’s believed that Charan has significantly reduced his earlier-set remuneration. It’s also rumored that director Shankar has taken a much lower fee.
Industry insiders suggest Charan accepted Rs 65 crores and Shankar only Rs 35 crores, though no official confirmation has been made.
Given Charan's stature post-RRR, this would indeed be considered a modest fee. But still, considering the present producer's situation, if he came down on his remuneration, that's really a role-model act and he deserves respect.
