Dhanush got Rs 30 crore for playing a beggar, while Rashmika Mandanna received Rs..., check full fees of Kubera star cast here
The dominance of South Indian cinema continues to grow, both in India and globally. Whether the budget is high or modest, South films are making serious waves at the box office — and the latest to join the race is Kubera, starring Dhanush. The film is released alongside Aamir Khan's much-anticipated Sitaare Zameen Par, and Kubera isn't just riding on stardom — it's backed by powerhouse performances and intriguing storytelling. Talking about the film Kubera, Dhanush takes on an intense and unusual role — that of a beggar. His gritty look and raw performance have already become a talking point. According to reports, Dhanush charged Rs 30 crore for the role, reflecting both his popularity and the physical transformation demanded by the script. Adding to the film's star power is veteran actor Nagarjuna, who plays a pivotal role. Known for his pan-India appeal, Nagarjuna reportedly earned Rs 14 crore for his part in Kubera, reaffirming his bankable status in Indian cinema. Rashmika Mandanna, who has become a household name after Pushpa, appears opposite Dhanush in this action-drama. While she reportedly earned Rs 10 crore for Pushpa, for Kubera, her fee dropped to Rs 4 crore. Though still a significant amount, the disparity in pay compared to her male co-stars has sparked conversation. Kubera starcast fees: Dhanush – Rs 30 crore Nagarjuna – Rs 14 crore Rashmika Mandanna – Rs 4 crore Kubera expected Box Office collection Despite the buzz and heavyweight cast, the film's box office journey will be closely watched. According to the reports of Sacnilk, Kubera is expected to earn around Rs 8 crore on its opening day. With a production budget pegged at Rs 120 crore, the makers are banking on strong word-of-mouth and regional pull to carry the film through its theatrical run.

Kuberaa box office collection day 2: Dhanush-Nagarjuna film beats Retro at ₹29 crore
Kuberaa box office collection day 2: Sekhar Kammula's Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh-starrer Kuberaa is holding steady at the box office. According to Sacnilk, the film brought in ₹ 29.66 crore net in India on its first Saturday. (Also Read: Kuberaa worldwide box office collection day 1: Dhanush gets his biggest opener globally at ₹ 27 crore) Kuberaa box office collection day 2: Nagarjuna and Dhanush in a still from the Sekhar Kammula film. The trade website reports that Kuberaa collected an estimated ₹ 14.91 crore net in India on Saturday, taking its total to ₹ 29.66 crore. The film brought in ₹ 14.75 crore on its opening day and, despite good reviews, saw little improvement. Kuberaa registered a good occupancy at 60.36% for the Telugu version and is performing better in the Telugu version than the Tamil version. The collections are on par with the ₹ 27.04 crore that Dhanush's previous film, Raayan, collected in two days. Suriya's recent release, Retro, made ₹ 27 crore in two days, but Kuberaa has yet to surpass Ajith Kumar's Vidaamuyarchi or Good Bad Ugly and Balakrishna's Daaku Maharaaj. About Kuberaa Kuberaa tells the story of a beggar named Deva (Dhanush) who crosses paths with a former CBI officer, Deepak Tej (Nagarjuna), in an encounter that changes his life. Along the way, he also meets Sameera (Rashmika), a woman stranded in Mumbai and looking for a way out. Jim plays the corrupt CEO of a rich corporation called Neeraj Mitra. Suniel Narang, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao and Ajay Kaikala have produced the film under Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations. Talking at a success meet after the release of Kuberaa, Nagarjuna claimed he was the 'main character' and said, 'Through this film, I am the main character in the film and everything else revolves around me. The screen space I got might be different, but that is not a criterion for me. This is Deepak's film, right from start to end, and that is how Sekhar also told it when he narrated it to me. My arc is also likewise that, which is why I liked it.'
