India's highest-paid OTT star, charges Rs 125 crore for just one show, beats Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Bajpayee, Kapil Sharma, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saif Ali Khan, Vikrant Massey, name is... OTT platforms have indeed reshaped the definition of stardom. Well, earlier, it was believed that streaming platforms were just for unconventional actors. However, today, A-listers have too joined the digital game, outshining all the boundaries and earning a staggering amount from web shows and movies. Today, we will discuss about this Bollywood actor who has emerged as India's highest-paid OTT star, earning over Rs 100 crore from a single series. In 2021, he ventured into the digital space and charged a staggering Rs 125 crore for the seven-episode series- Rudra: Edge of Darkness. Yes, he is none other than Ajay Devgn. Starring as a cop on the show, he reportedly charged Rs 18 crore per episode, the highest ever in the OTT space. According to reports, his salary beats other Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan who charges Rs 90-100 crore for their films. Well, Devgn's fees was justified by the extended screen time, as the series was equal to two feature-length films. Moreover, he had an extended contract with Disney+ Hotstar, which included cross-promotional activities, social media campaigns and appearances on reality shows. Also, Saif Ali Khan, who became the first Bollywood actor to enter the OTT space with Sacred Games , charged way less than Ajay. He was reportedly paid Rs 15-20 crore, for the last season of Sacred Games. Moreover, other Bollywood stars like Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui commanded their spots too on the list of India's richest OTT stars. The rise of digital platforms have given these actors to not just showcase their talent but also earn competitive paychecks. Meanwhile, coming back to Ajay, his last on-screen presence was in Raid 2. Moreover, he has several projects in his pipeline, including Son of Sardaar 2, De De Pyaar De 2 and Dhamaal 4.

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.
