Kamal Haasan’s recent resurgence at the box-office, particularly after the success of the 2022 film Vikram, has reportedly contributed to his increased market value.
Recent Developments
In a significant update regarding his role in the film Kalki 2898 AD, it has been revealed that Kamal Haasan received ₹150 crore for his performance. This remuneration positions him as the highest-paid actor in the film, which features a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone.
Haasan’s character in the film is named Supreme Yaskin, and despite having limited screen time in the first part of the film, his role is considered significant. He reportedly shot for just 10 days, which is a reduction from the initial claim of 20 days.
According to Yugi Sethu, a key figure associated with the film, “Kamal sir’s stature is such. He is getting paid ₹150 crore for 20 days of the call sheet for Kalki 2898 AD.” However, he later corrected himself, stating, “Sorry, I correct myself then, it’s $2 million per day.” This pay rate underscores Haasan’s prominent position in the industry.
Looking Ahead
As the film continues to generate buzz, observers are keen to see how Haasan’s role will be received by audiences. The film Kalki 2898 AD is a sci-fi epic that was released in 2024, and its impact on Haasan’s career trajectory remains to be seen.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of Haasan’s involvement in future projects following this film.
