Read on to know more about the same.

According to source, Amitabh Bachchan has charged a whopping 21 Crores for playing a role in Deepika Padukone and Prabhas starrer. The film which is said to be a futuristic action drama is set on a very high scale. It stars Bachchan in a pivotal character that drives the plot, being the reason for a massive remuneration.

The source said, “Amitabh Bachchan often charges a premium rate to work down south, and he has continued this trend with Nag Ashwin’s next too. His character is more of the one that’s  central to the narrative involving lots of action, and given the magnitude of the film and impact of his role, Big B charged Rs. 21 crores to be a part of the film.”

It further added, “Sr. Bachchan follows a variable fee structure depending on the script and appeal. Bigger the film, bigger will be his paycheque. His pattern of financial commitment is always to make sure that a small film doesn’t go over budget due to his acting fees.”

The film starring the three will go on floors in 2021 and will release in 2023.
