According to the reports, Prabhas was paid a monumental amount of 100 crores plus 10% of the film’s profit.
Prabhas has always been an actor with few words, and he continues to prove this with each new film. SS Rajamouli, who directed him for the Baahubali franchise, could not stop raving about his screen presence. We’ve seen the same in each of his subsequent films. No matter how subpar the product is, you can’t deny that he has complete control over his presence.
You won’t see him giving monologues or lengthy speeches because he can express himself so well through his eyes and actions. The way his punch is highlighted in Salaar’s trailer demonstrates how the directors value his presence over what he says.
All of these factors are considered when writing the screenplay. According to reports, Prabhas had only 2 minutes and 35 seconds of dialogue in the film’s 2 hours and 55 minutes of running time.
A fan attempted to compile all of Rebel Star’s dialogue from the film, which concluded the duration. But we took a step forward! Taking this fascinating statistic and comparing it to the exorbitant price Prabhas reportedly demanded for Salaar.
How much was Prabhas paid?
According to reports, he was paid a whopping 100 crores plus 10% of the film’s profits. On a budget of 350 crores (all inclusive), it collected 612.90 crores at the worldwide box office. This means the film earned around 250 crores. This would add 25 crores (10%) to Prabhas’ account, bringing his total salary to 125 crores.
How much does a second of his dialogue cost?
If we divide the 125 crores he charged for Salaar by the 2 minutes and 35 seconds of his total dialogues, each second he spoke earned him Rs 80,64,516. Isn’t that the most expensive speech a star could give?
Dear’serious trolls!
We know that he had a lot of action to do in the film, and acting is more than just reciting lines. However, some things should be enjoyed rather than analyzed for logic. It’s also because if you ever have the opportunity to speak with Prabhas, you should be aware of how much he would charge you for speaking for even a few seconds. Be prepared with your checkbook!
