Thug Life cast fees: Kamal Haasan goes SRK way, Trisha Krishnan paid 3 times more than Good Bad Ugly?
Mani Ratnam directed Thug Life has been one of the most anticipated films up for release on June 5, 2025. The fan excitement and buzz surrounding the gangster thriller is palpable and the makers seem to have promised a spectacular watch on the big screens with this one.
With just a few days left for the film's release, here's everything you must know about the fees of the multi-starrer upcoming movie. As per a Daily Jagran report, Thug Life has been made on a budget of around Rs. 250-300 crore.
Kamal Haasan enters profit sharing with Mani Ratnam
Like most A-listed actors, Kamal Haasan has reportedly entered into a profit-sharing deal with the director Mani Ratnam himself.
Since Thug Life has been produced jointly by the two of them, they will be sharing the profits earned once the film performs well at the box office.
Neither of the two will receive a separate paycheck for their contributions to the film.
Silambarasan TR receives the highest paycheck for Thug Life
Up next, Silambarasan TR who plays the role of Amaran, is said to have bagged a remuneration of Rs. 40 crore for the movie.
After Kamal Haasan's profit-sharing deal, STR is the next one to receive the highest paycheck.
Trisha Krishnan's fees gets three times more than Good Bad Ugly
Interestingly, Trisha Krishnan also received a hike in her pay. The actress has been paid a fee of Rs. 12 crore for her role as Indhrani.
This is three times more than her last film Good Bad Ugly, co-starring Ajith Kumar, where she was paid Rs. 4 crore.
She will be playing the character of Kamal Haasan's on-screen love interest in the film.
Other cast fees for Thug Life
Speaking about the rest of the cast, actress Abhirami received Rs. 50 lakh for the film while Joju George was paid Rs. 1 crore.

Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning mints Rs 1110 crore in USA alone
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is performing well globally. The film has earned US $129.2 million worldwide. It is doing well in the United States and China. The movie is expected to surpass Dead Reckoning's China earnings. To be profitable, The Final Reckoning needs to earn $1 billion worldwide. The film's performance indicates a successful run. Tom Cruise is proving once again why he remains Hollywood's most reliable action star. His latest outing, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, released on May 23, 2025, has stormed the US box office, collecting a mighty US $129.2 million ( Rs 1110 crore) as of its second Tuesday, with a particularly strong $4.1 million haul reflecting a minimal -42.8% drop from the previous week — far steadier than Dead Reckoning's -56.3% drop in 2023. T his performance places The Final Reckoning among the top five second Tuesday grossers for Memorial Day releases in the U.S. Only Cruise's own Top Gun: Maverick ($13.8M), Lilo & Stitch ($8.4M), Aladdin ($7.8M), and The Little Mermaid ($6.1M) have fared better historically. Projected to finish its U.S. run between $190 million and $210 million, the film's strong legs point toward a promising overall trajectory. But it's not just America where Cruise's star power is shining. In China, the film is delivering exceptional numbers as well. On Wednesday, The Final Reckoning grossed a solid $1.8 million, dropping just -14.3% from Tuesday across an impressive 89,000 screenings — matching its previous day's show count as per Luiz Fernando's report. What's noteworthy is the film's strong walk-up business, with a whopping 88.4% of Wednesday's tickets sold during the day, while only 11.6% came from pre-sales. In just six days, the film has reached $35.7 million ( Rs 300 crore) in China. With $200,000 already clocked in pre-sales for Thursday while maintaining 89,000 screen count, it's on track to outpace Dead Reckoning's entire Chinese run and could become the first Hollywood release since Venom: The Last Dance (October 2024) to cross the $50 million mark locally — likely by this weekend itself. The film in India as well is doign brisky business and it heading towards Rs 100 crore mark. Made on a staggering $400 million budget, The Final Reckoning needs to hit the elusive $1 billion milestone worldwide to turn a profit, factoring in marketing spends and revenue splits. With Cruise's enduring fanbase and a relentless global rollout, the mission doesn't seem impossible at all. The ensemble cast includes returning fan favorites Hayley Atwell as Grace, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg , Henry Czerny, Pom Klementieffs, and Esai Morales along with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt.

Shah Rukh Khan rents four apartments as Mannat undergoes renovation for Rs 24 lacs a month, Aamir Khan buys new space worth Rs 9.75 crore
Shah Rukh Khan's iconic abode Mannat is under renovation and the actor and his family have shifted to film producer Vashu Bhagnani's building Puja Casa with a reported rent of Rs 24 lacs for 30 days (a month). And then there's Aamir Khan, who has purchased a new apartment for Rs 9.75 crore in Mumbai. The sale agreement was finalised last year in June. And then we have actors who are selling their properties like Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra. Kumar sold a commercial office space in Lower Parel for Rs 8 crore in April 2025. He had purchased the unit in 2020 for Rs 4.85 crore, earning a 65% return. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Coming to Priyanka, the actress sold four luxury apartments in Andheri West for Rs 16.17 cr. The flats were located in the Oberoi Sky Gardens project. The selling of properties seems to be a profitable strategy for the actors. Given the sky-rocketing real-estate prices in Mumbai, majority of the actors prefer renting spaces in the city as opposed to owning one. Bollywood star Imran Khan and his girlfriend Lekha Washington recently rented an abode in Mumbai for Rs 9 lakhs per month from filmmaker Karan Johar. But Khan isn't the only actor from the industry to lease an apartment on rent. There are many other names like Katrina Kaif, Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon. There could be a reason why many Bollywood stars prefer to rent a property instead of buying it. Zapkey co-founder Sandeep Reddy spills the beans So the next best option is to rent. Yet another reason is unstable income because of which they may not want to commit to a large outgo on purchase. They, therefore, prefer to spend a high amount on rent rather than purchasing an apartment. Ritesh Mehta, senior director and head, West and North, Residential Services and Developer Initiatives, JLL speaks up They first prefer to take the flat on lease but keep scouting for the right fit. Once they find the apartment of their choice, they eventually buy it. There have also been cases wherein newcomers first decide to take a house on rent as they may not be able to afford an apartment at the start of their careers. Besides, their earnings are not regular and they may not prefer committing to regular EMIs. Having said that, there are actors who buy apartments only to rent them out for rental income.
