South Indian cinema continues to dominate across the country, often outshining even big-budget Bollywood films. One of the latest examples is Kubera, featuring powerhouse performers like Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nagarjuna. Released alongside Aamir Khan’s Sitare Zameen Par, Kubera is making waves not only for its storyline but also for its star-studded cast and their hefty paychecks.

Dhanush Bags ₹30 Crore for an Unconventional Role
Dhanush, who plays a beggar in Kubera, is receiving high praise for taking on such a challenging and gritty character. Despite the humble role, his paycheck is anything but modest—he reportedly charged ₹30 crore for the film. With strong performances both in South Indian and Bollywood cinema, Dhanush continues to prove his versatility and box office draw.

Nagarjuna Commands ₹14 Crore
Veteran actor Nagarjuna also plays a key role in the film. With a massive fan following across India and a proven track record, Nagarjuna’s fee for Kubera is reported to be ₹14 crore. His presence adds significant weight to the film’s ensemble.

Rashmika Mandanna Gets ₹4 Crore — A Surprising Drop
Rashmika Mandanna, one of the top actresses in the Indian film industry, is playing the female lead opposite Dhanush. However, her reported fee of ₹4 crore is noticeably lower than her ₹10 crore paycheck for Pushpa. While ₹4 crore is a substantial amount, it does raise eyebrows considering her current market value and popularity.

• Dhanush – ₹30 crore

• Nagarjuna – ₹14 crore

• Rashmika Mandanna – ₹4 crore

Can Kubera Deliver at the Box Office?
With a reported budget of ₹120 crore, Kubera has high expectations riding on it. According to trade sources, the film is projected to earn around ₹8 crore on its opening day. While this may be a modest start compared to its budget, strong word-of-mouth and star power could push the film’s performance upward in the coming days.
