Dhamaal 4: This actress is going to return to join Ajay Devgn-starrer
The Dhamaal franchise is known for turning chaos into comedy gold, and now it is officially levelling up. Esha Gupta, who made a blink-and-miss but memorable cameo in Total Dhamaal (aka Dhamaal 3), is back for round four. This time, her role is rumoured to be way more substantial, and honestly, we are so here for it.
Esha Gupta's comeback is the sparkle we didn't know we needed
Director Indra Kumar spilled the beans, confirming her comeback and calling her both 'a great actor and a fantastic person.' According to sources close to the production, her character will bring an extra punch of glam and plot-twisting sass to the already over-the-top ride that Dhamaal 4 is shaping up to be.
While the storyline is tightly under wraps (classic Dhamaal), we do know that filming is in full swing. After wrapping up a picturesque schedule at Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra, the team has now shifted the madness to Mumbai. Ajay Devgn and other cast members gave fans a peek behind the scenes with some squad selfies on Insta, captioned: 'The madness is BACK!'
The vibe? Pure chaos, vintage Dhamaal energy, and a sprinkle of 2026-style masala.

The star-studded lineup of Dhamaal 4
Joining Ajay Devgn in this joyride are the familiar faces who made the franchise iconic: Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi. But wait, the cast does not stop there. Also on board: Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan.
And if that was not enough to raise your eyebrow, hold on, Madhuri Dixit is also rumoured to have a pivotal role. When asked last year, she played coy, teasing fans by saying that while nothing was confirmed yet, she would be the first to spill the beans once it was.
With a release locked for Eid 2026, Dhamaal 4 is already making noise, and with Esha Gupta's return? The chaos just got classy.

Ajay Devgn's Rs 35 crore cameo in RRR made him India's highest-paid actor per minute; beats Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Vijay
Ajay Devgn's salary is a hot topic. He earned Rs 35 crore for an RRR cameo. He became the highest-paid OTT star with Rudra. His fees vary based on the project size. Post-pandemic, he delivered box office hits. He charges around Rs 20 crore for smaller films. He earns over Rs 40 crore for big ventures like Singham Again. Ajay Devgn may be known for his intense screen presence and mass appeal, but his paycheck has been making headlines just as much. From commanding a record-breaking Rs 35 crore for an 8-minute cameo in RRR to becoming India's highest-paid OTT star with Rudra, the actor has consistently reshaped the industry's pay scale. As conversations around star fees heat up in the age of big-budget spectacles and streaming giants, Ajay's calculated choices and blockbuster success post-pandemic make him a fascinating case study in the economics of modern stardom. In 2017, following the massive success of Baahubali 2, director SS Rajamouli announced his next ambitious project with Jr NTR and Ram Charan. Titled RRR, the film's cast expanded over time, with Ajay Devgn joining in early 2019 for a brief but pivotal cameo, alongside Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran. Though Ajay appeared on screen for just 8 minutes, he was paid a staggering Rs 35 crore—making it the most expensive cameo in Indian cinema. At Rs 4.35 crore per minute, it set a new record for the highest per-minute fee charged by any Indian actor at the time. To put that into perspective, if Shah Rukh Khan were paid at the same Rs 4.35 crore-per-minute rate for Jawan—in which he appears for around 70 minutes—his fee would have ballooned to Rs 300 crore, surpassing the film's actual budget. By that metric, Rajinikanth (Jailer), Salman Khan (Tiger 3), Prabhas (Kalki 2898 AD), and Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2) would each have to earn between ₹250–300 crore—far more than their reported fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo Ajay Devgn's brief role in RRR thus made him, if only by this calculation, the highest-paid actor in India. Ajay Devgn eventually cemented his place at the top of the pay scale when he became the highest-paid OTT star in the country. In 2021, he signed on for Rudra: The Edge of Darkness for a whopping Rs 125 crore, marking a new benchmark for digital content deals in India. Post-pandemic, Ajay Devgn has enjoyed a strong box office run with hits like Drishyam 2, Raid 2, and Singham Again. Known for his flexible approach to remuneration, the actor reportedly tailors his fee based on the project's scale—charging around Rs 20 crore for smaller-budget films like Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Raid 2, while pushing it beyond Rs 40 crore for big-ticket ventures like Singham Again.
