Mahesh Babu is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of Telugu cinema and his latest release Sarkaru Vaari Paata is the latest South offering to the audience. However, the film went on to receive mixed response from the audience and the critics.
While many loved the action-packed, masala entertainer, several were disappointed with Mahesh Babu’s film.
Interestingly, fans are curious about Mahesh Babu's remuneration for the film which is directed by Parasuram. He is among the biggest and most popular stars of South cinema and indeed you will be stunned to know his fees.
If we are to go by the latest reports, Mahesh Babu charges approximately Rs 35 to Rs 50 crore per film.
Without a doubt, Mahesh Babu is one of the highest-paid actors in the Telugu film industry. The actor who is known as the Prince of Tollywood has been a part of many big-budget dramas and has delivered several hits over the years.
However, the reports about his remuneration per film come after his recent comment on why he does not take up Hindi films. The actor stated that Bollywood cannot afford him and that created quite a stir across the industry.
During the promotion of his film - Major, he had said, "I did get a lot of offers in Hindi, but I don't think they can afford me. I don't want to waste my time working in an industry which can't afford me. The stardom and the respect I get here [in South] is huge, so I never really thought of leaving my industry and going to some other industry. I have always thought of doing films here and becoming bigger. My dream is coming true now and I can't be happier."
