Dhurandhar Fee Card

As Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar marches confidently towards the ₹1,000-crore milestone, the remuneration of its principal cast makes for an intriguing study. Akshaye Khanna, who has emerged as one of the film’s biggest talking points, was paid a modest ₹5.5 crore. R. Madhavan earned slightly more, taking home around ₹7 crore. Arjun Rampal was the lowest-paid among the key players, receiving approximately ₹1.5 crore.

The only actor to command his full market value was Ranveer Singh, who reportedly earned between ₹45-50 crore. Following Dhurandhar, Ranveer is said to have substantially hiked his fee, as has Akshaye Khanna. Madhavan, however, has no plans to revise his remuneration upward.

Interestingly, the real hero behind the scenes is director Aditya Dhar, who chose to forgo his fee entirely to keep the film’s budget under control. Sources reveal that Jio Studios now plans to compensate Dhar for his exceptional contribution to the project.
