Looks
like
Tollywood
has
not
only
evolved
in
terms
of
its
box
office
performance,
but
has
also
increased
its
budgets
in
the
last
one
year.
Needless
to
say,
a
large
slice
of
these
films
capitals
are
going
into
the
pockets
of
our
heroes,
while
we
should
also
agree
that
their
star
image
is
what
that
is
spinning
those
extra
crores
at
the
box
office.
The
year
2015
marks
a
significant
year
in
the
85
years
of
Telugu
film
industry,
as
it
has
expanded
the
vicinity
of
Telugu
films
as
well
as
the
stamina
of
Telugu
stars.
Apparently,
there
was
a
notable
raise
in
the
remuneration
of
Tollywood
star
heroes
too,
which
is
an
interesting
change.
Go
through
the
slides
below
to
know
how
much
your
favorite
heroes
are
pocketing.
Mahesh
Babu
Superstar
Mahesh
Babu
is
apparently
charging
Rs
25
crore
for
his
upcoming
film
with
Murugadoss
and
is
only
next
to
South
Indian
superstar
Rajinikanth.
The
actor
hiked
his
pay
post
the
success
of
Srimanthudu.
Pawan
Kalyan
Pawan
is
reportedly
charging
something
round
22
Cr
for
a
film,
while
he
is
also
going
to
share
the
profits
for
Sardaar,
being
one
of
the
producers
of
the
film.
NTR
NTR
is
reportedly
charging
around
20
Crs
for
a
film,
post
Temper.
Prabhas
Prabhas
is
quoting
around
18-19
Cr
for
a
film,
if
you
keep
Baahubali
aside.
Ram
Charan
Ram
Charan
is
said
to
be
pocketing
17
Cr
right
now,
and
his
pay
scale
often
waver,
depending
on
the
budget
of
the
film
and
other
constraints.
Allu
Arjun
After
having
two
consecutive
50
Cr
films,
Bunny
hiked
his
pay
to
15
Cr.
On
the
hand,
there
was
a
conflict
about
who
is
highest
paid
actor
right
now
in
Telugu,
since
Prabhas
was
rumored
to
have
charged
more
than
60
Crores
for
the
Baahubali
franchise
and
was
also
in
news
for
receiving
a
few
more
crores,
post
the
success
of
Baahubali
The
Beginning.
But,
it
was
just
only
for
the
case
of
Baahubali
as
he
has
alloted
bulk
dates
and
almost
4-5
years
of
his
time
including
the
time
taken
for
the
pre-production,
production
and
the
post
production
of
both
the
Baahubali
films.
Otherwise,
the
star
has
been
quoting
something
around
18-19
Cr
as
his
pay.
Apparently,
Mahesh
Babu
is
the
only
star,
who
is
close
to
Prabhas
with
a
pay
scale
of
25
Cr
for
a
film.
So,
the
highest
paid
actor
tag
is
open
for
a
tug
of
war
between
Mahesh
and
Prabhas
for
now,
since
many
opine
Baahubali
is
an
exceptional
case,
while
a
few
argue
Prabhas
is
ahead
of
everyone
in
the
industry.
