Sekhar Kammula's eagerly awaited social thriller Kuberaa is getting closer to its June 20 theatrical debut and is still creating a lot of buzz. With a strong cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna, Dhanush, and Nagarjuna Akkineni, the movie has already caught the attention of Telugu and Tamil moviegoers.
As the countdown begins, the actors' salaries are making headlines, and some figures are as shocking as the film.
Dhanush: Kuberaa's Highest Paid Star
According to reports, the biggest lure in terms of pay is Dhanush, the National Award-winning actor who plays Deva. According to reports, Dhanush, who is well-known for his steady appeal throughout India, particularly in the Tamil and Telugu markets, is asking an incredible Rs 30 crore for the movie.

According to a report by Dainik Jagran, this represents almost 36% of the movie's overall budget. He is the most costly component of the film because of his captivating on-screen persona and track record of success at the box office.
Veteran Star Nagarjuna Akkineni Takes Home Rs 14 Crore
According to reports, the cast's second-highest fee goes to the always charming Nagarjuna Akkineni, who portrays the enigmatic character Deepak. According to a report by Filmibeat, the actor receives Rs 14 crore for his crucial role.
Nagarjuna's intense, grey-shaded appearance in the trailer has already raised high expectations, and his fan base is excited to see him in a role that is both interesting and realistic.
Rashmika Mandanna: A Special Role at a Lower Pay?
Dhanush and Nagarjuna are making their first appearances on screen together with actress Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Sameera. According to reports, Rashmika accepted a comparatively low fee of Rs 4 crore for Kuberaa, despite her widespread popularity and strong pan-India presence.
Her compensation for Pushpa 2, where she reportedly made about Rs 10 crore and became one of the highest-paid actresses in the South, is significantly higher than this.
Although it's unclear why she chose to accept a lesser salary this time, many people theorise that she may have been swayed by the chance to collaborate with Sekhar Kammula and her co-stars.
Kuberaa is positioned to be one of the year's most talked-about releases thanks to its captivating premise, acclaimed director, and all-star cast.
On June 20, people will know if the movie lives up to the financial hype at the box office, but one thing is for sure: it has already generated excitement and high expectations throughout India.
