Reigning star Prabhas is reportedly set to command an extraordinary remuneration for his upcoming cop drama Spirit, firmly placing him among the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema.
According to industry sources, the actor is expected to earn ₹160 crore or even more for the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial.
The source notes that Prabhas’ soaring pan-India popularity has pushed his market value to unprecedented levels, marking a major milestone in his career.
Spirit will require Prabhas to dedicate nearly six months to the shoot, and the film has already created massive buzz across the industry.
Backed by leading production houses across Bollywood and Tollywood, Prabhas’ films have consistently been marketed on a global scale — from the US and Europe to Japan and beyond. His pan-India appeal remains unmatched among contemporary Telugu stars.
However, the source adds that Allu Arjun has become a serious contender for the top spot after the blockbuster success of Pushpa: The Rise and the sensational response to Pushpa: The Rule. His upcoming collaboration with director Atlee is also expected to set new worldwide records.
While Prabhas currently leads the chart with his immense reach and global following, Allu Arjun is rapidly closing the gap — setting the stage for one of the biggest box-office rivalries in Indian cinema.
