India's highest-paid villain earns ₹100 cr from THIS film, no releases in last 3 years, not Fahadh or Vijay Sethupathi
Gone are the days when only the hero or heroine could pull audiences to theatres. Today, a well-crafted negative role can be just as captivating and just as profitable, earning the same as with top stars. When it comes to big-ticket films, villains are bringing their A-game, driving box office numbers. In fact, India's highest-paid antagonist is such a powerful force that his name alone can determine the fate of a film pan-India. The highest-paid villain in the Indian film industry is neither Fahadh Faasil nor Vijay Sethupathi, nor even Kamal Haasan. India's highest-paid villain is actor Yash of KGF fame. The Kannada superstar has officially become the highest-paid villain in Indian cinema history, as per multiple reports. The actor is set to play Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of Ramayana. He also serves as co-producer of the project. In the film, Yash will be clashing with actor Ranbir Kapoor, aka Lord Ram. According to reports, Yash is charging ₹ 50 crore as his fees for the film, excluding his share in distribution profits. Ramayana will be a two-part film, the first installment releasing in 2026. If reports are true, Yash will be paid a whopping ₹ 100 crore for both installments. Previously, a report claimed that Yash's total compensation, including his acting fee and distribution profits, amounts to ₹ 200 crore. If true, this figure would surpass even the salary of the film's hero, Ranbir Kapoor. However, in all conditions, Yash overtakes the salaries of popular villains in the recent big films. Kamal Haasan previously held the record for highest-paid antagonist for his cameo in Kalki 2898 AD, earning somewhere between ₹ 25–40 crore. On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi reportedly charged ₹ 21 crore for his negative role in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan. It is believed that the blockbuster Pushpa 2 antagonist Fahadh Faasil earned ₹ 8 crore. Previously, the makers of Ramayana had dropped the first look from the film. It also featured a glimpse of Yash as Ravana. A report by Telly Chakkar claimed that Yash will have a screen time of 15 minutes in Ramayana Part 1. He is said to have a longer presence in the second installment of the film. Besides Ramayana, Yash also has the upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, in the pipeline.

After many weeks of speculation and teasing, Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment has finally confirmed that Kriti Sanon has replaced new mom Kiara Advani in Don 3. The film will star Ranveer Singh as the lead, and Farhan Akhtar will once again direct the film, just like Shah Rukh Khan's Don and Don 2. As per a release by Excel Entertainment about Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur, the actor-director 'is also preparing for his next directorial venture, Don 3, which is expected to go on floors in January 2026. The film will feature Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon in leading roles. Casting for the film is underway, with the makers reportedly in talks with a top A-list actor to take on the intense antagonist role". The film was earlier supposed to feature Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani as the leads. However, during her pregnancy, Kiara opted out of the film. A Pinkvilla report claimed that she has 'chosen to prioritise her personal life" over the film. Reports then suggested that Kriti Sanon had replaced Kiara. Kriti Sanon was often spotted outside Excel Entertainment's office. Recently, she posted a birthday note for Ranveer Singh on Instagram and mentioned towards the end, 'P.S. Looking forward to working with you soon!" These things only fuelled the speculations while official confirmations were awaited. However, now, Excel Entertainment's press note confirms that Kriti Sanon has been cast as the leading lady in Don 3. The press note comes soon after Kiara Advani announced that she has welcomed her first child with Sidharth Malhotra- a baby girl. The couple welcomed their daughter on July 15, 2025, at Reliance Hospital in Mumbai. Meanwhile, even though Excel Entertainment has confirmed Kriti Sanon as the leading lady for Don 3, they are yet to address rumours about Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra making cameos in the film. As for the antagonist, reports claim that while Vikrant Massey and Vijay Deverakonda were approached for the role, both actors declined the opportunity due to the character lacking depth. With Kriti Sanon and Ranveer Singh being paired on screen for the first time, it will be interesting to see who will step in as the villain in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3.
