3 May
Summary
- Riteish Deshmukh reportedly charged 18 crore for his role.
- Rumors suggest cast salaries are exaggerated by the internet.
- The film's reported budget is 75 crore, with Deshmukh earning 24%.
The film Raja Shivaji, a passion project for actor Riteish Deshmukh, is generating significant buzz, not only for its box office performance but also for alleged star salaries. Recent online reports have circulated figures suggesting Deshmukh charged 18 crore, approximately 24% of the film's reported 75 crore budget.
These reports also claimed substantial paychecks for other cast members, including Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, and Abhishek Bachchan. However, sources close to the production have indicated that these reported numbers are exaggerated and largely speculative, particularly for a passion project of this nature and being a home production.
While Riteish Deshmukh might see profits as the film crosses financial milestones, the currently circulated salary figures for the cast are considered untrue. The focus remains on the film's success and the hard work behind its production by Mumbai Film Company.
