Actor Ranveer Singh has reportedly joined the ranks of Indian cinema’s highest-paid stars after earning an estimated Rs 325 crore from the blockbuster Dhurandhar duology. The reported payday, driven by a profit-sharing arrangement rather than a fixed fee, places him in the league of actors such as Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth, who have benefited immensely from their films’ commercial success.<\/p>\n
According to a report by Hindustan Times, Ranveer chose a profit-sharing model instead of charging a fixed acting fee for the film. The arrangement is said to have allowed him to benefit directly from the film’s box-office collections as well as revenues generated through satellite, digital and music rights.<\/p>\n
Reports also suggest that Ranveer chose to forgo his regular acting fee for the Dhurandhar<\/a> duology and instead backed the project through a profit-sharing arrangement. The two films, originally conceived as a single project, went on to become massive box-office successes. Ranveer is also said to have invested additional funds when the production budget escalated, a move that reportedly increased his share of the profits from both films.<\/p>\n The strategy appears to have worked in his favour. With Dhurandhar emerging as a major commercial success across markets<\/a>, the actor’s share of the profits has reportedly soared, making the film one of the most lucrative projects of his career.<\/p>\n If the reported figures are accurate, the 40-year-old actor could rank among the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema.<\/p>\n Profit-sharing agreements have become increasingly common among top stars, although they come with considerable risk. Unlike a guaranteed remuneration, such deals tie an actor’s earnings to a film’s performance. However, when a film turns into a blockbuster, the rewards can be significantly higher than a conventional paycheck.<\/p>\n The reported figure has inevitably sparked comparisons with some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. Actors such as Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun and Prabhas have previously been linked to massive earnings through similar revenue-sharing arrangements on successful films.<\/p>\n While the reported Rs 325 crore figure has generated widespread buzz, neither Ranveer Singh<\/a> nor the makers of Dhurandhar have officially commented on or confirmed the estimate.<\/p>\n – Ends<\/p>\n
