Is Kiara Advani earning high remuneration? Anamika Gottipati, March 21, 2025March 22, 2025 In Indian cinema, several top stars command remuneration exceeding ₹100 crore. Superstars like Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Yash, and Vijay earn massive paychecks due to their ability to guarantee huge box office openings, regardless of a film’s content or director. However, very few actresses can single-handedly draw audiences to theaters, making it rare for them to receive even a fraction of what leading male actors earn. Only a handful—such as Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt—have reached the stage where they can demand ₹15-20 crore per film. Has Kiara Advani joined this league?
