Actor Ranveer Singh is creating buzz not only because of the unprecedented success of ‘Dhurandhar’ but also owing to the remuneration he is said to have received from this movie. The action drama turned out to be one of the most successful box-office hits ever made in India, attracting huge audiences in various markets and earning considerable money from different sources. While fans praise this movie for its performance, it’s now time to discuss another issue related to the actor.
Ranveer Singh reportedly earned Rs 325 crore from ‘Dhurandhar’
As reported by Hindustan Times, it has been estimated that Ranveer Singh earned a sum of Rs 325 crore through ‘Dhurandhar.’ The actor did not take a flat fee but entered into a profit-sharing deal and also invested some money in the movie due to rising production costs. His income includes money made from theatrical earnings and other income from digital, satellite, and music rights, as per trade estimates published in the article. With such earnings, the film becomes one of the most profitable movies for Ranveer Singh in his career.
Profit-sharing model proves rewarding for the actor
In contrast to the conventional remuneration pattern adopted by numerous other films, in ‘Dhurandhar,’ Ranveer seems to have made a bet on the film’s future. The move seems to have been very profitable for him, considering how well the film performed commercially. Industry experts have always cited profit sharing as a double-edged sword because while it is quite risky, it can also produce extraordinary profits if the film does unexpectedly well.
A new benchmark in the race for the highest-paid stars
Obviously, comparisons have been made with a few other actors who have received equally high pay packages for their respective movies. For instance, over the years, it has come to light that Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun, and Prabhas have all been part of movies where they earned huge amounts of money. Now, Ranveer Singh too is one of those people who have joined the list. Although no official figures have yet been verified by the actor himself or by the producers of the movie, this news has definitely raised eyebrows within trade circles and among the fans of the film.DISCLAIMER: Figures presented in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless explicitly noted.
