They have reached the skies and beyond when it comes to remuneration. While it is an unspoken truth that the hero's remuneration makes for the majority of the film's budget, the movie makers of Tollywood are leaving no stone unturned to produce films worth Rs 500 Crore, where we understand how much the A-list heroes are charging per film.
In comparison, the male lead actors of Tollywood are making the most of their stardom to receive hefty remunerations that are several times higher than what they used to be a decade ago.
Surprisingly, while all other industries and the entire world have shut down due to the pandemic, Tollywood is the only film industry to open its cinemas and made profitable business. After the pandemic, the prices of filmmaking and therefore the remunerations have increased exorbitantly.
