India's highest paid director, charging ₹200 crore for a film, not Karan Johar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga or Rohit Shetty
Several factors determine whether a film becomes a box office success-- be it star power, chart-topping music, or a stellar screenplay. But at the heart of it all is the director, the true captain of the ship, who brings the entire vision to life. While it is the star actors who are paid hefty to bring the audience, it is India's highest-paid director who charges even more than actors like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. It is SS Rajamouli who holds the title of India's highest-paid film director. The Telugu filmmaker charges around ₹ 200 crore for each film he directs as per IMDd. It is said to include his upfront fees, profit share, and bonus for the sale of rights. His share can even climb higher depending on the success of the film. For instance, RRR was a global success, fetching even Academy Awards. Rajamouli was reportedly paid ₹ 200 crore after the success of his Baahubali franchise. A ₹ 200 crore paycheck for a single film places the director among the highest-paid film personalities in the country. In fact, some of India's richest superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are said to earn around ₹ 150-180 crore per film. Rajamouli's remuneration remains higher than theirs. SS Rajamouli's massive paycheck highlights his superstar status among directors. When RRR was promoted in North India, it was marketed as Rajamouli's film, despite having two major actors, Ram Charan and Jr NTR from the South industry. It happened so because of the Baahubali films which made him a household name across India. Baahubali 2 alone earned ₹ 510 crore in Hindi, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film for six years until Pathaan's release in 2023. Similarly, RRR also did impressive business at the ticket window, collecting over ₹ 270 crore in its Hindi version. If we believe the industry insiders, no other director comes close to Rajamouli's earnings. He charges more than double what others are getting in India. Big names like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prasanth Neel are said to earn around ₹ 90 crore per film. Celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani takes home ₹ 80 crore, as per reports. Directors like Sukumar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Siddharth Anand also charge a big amount, with each earning over ₹ 40 crore for a single film, yet nowhere close to the RRR director. Meanwhile, Hindi filmmakers like Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty who usually produce their own movies, make money through profit-sharing. They are said to not charge money as their fees.

THIS Actor Charged Rs 4.35 Crore Per Minute for a Cameo; The Highest in Indian Cinema History and it's not Shah Rukh Khan or Prabhas
In 2019, Ajay Devgn made history by charging Rs 35 crore for an 8-minute role in SS Rajamouli's RRR, making it the most expensive cameo in Indian cinema. This worked out to Rs 4.35 crore per minute, the highest per-minute rate ever recorded for an Indian actor. At a time when top stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Prabhas, and Vijay command massive fees, this short role by Ajay set a new benchmark. To put it in perspective, if Shah Rukh Khan were to charge the same rate for Jawan, where he appears for about 70 minutes, his fee would have been over Rs 300 crore, more than the film's total budget. Here's how Ajay's RRR cameo changed industry pay scales SS Rajamouli announced RRR in 2017 after the success of Baahubali 2. Jr NTR and Ram Charan were the lead stars, with Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran later joining. In early 2019, Ajay Devgn came on board for a powerful cameo. Though his screen time was only eight minutes, he charged Rs 35 crore for the appearance. At Rs 4.35 crore per minute, his fee outpaced all other actors in India. For comparison, stars like Rajinikanth (Jailer), Salman Khan (Tiger 3), Prabhas (Kalki 2898 AD), and Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2) would need to charge over Rs 250 crore to match that rate, which none of them have reportedly done. This short but high-fee role helped Ajay stand out as India's highest-paid actor by the per-minute metric. Ajay Devgn's evolving fee structure post 2019 Ajay Devgn has continued to see box office success after the pandemic, with hits like Drishyam 2, Raid 2, and Singham Again. His pay varies based on the project. He reportedly charged Rs 20 crore for smaller films such as Raid 2 and Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, while commanding Rs 40 crore or more for big productions like Singham Again. In 2021, he also became the highest-paid OTT actor in India, signing on for Rudra: The Edge of Darkness on Disney+ Hotstar for Rs 125 crore. Chiranjeevi was the first Indian actor to charge Rs 1 crore for a film in the 1990s. That became the standard, with top actors like the Khans, Akshay Kumar, Sridevi, and Madhuri Dixit following suit. But with time, Rs 1 crore became standard even for supporting roles.
