Despite Pushpa 2 making Rs 300 crore, not Allu Arjun, Shah Rukh Khan is India’s highest-paid actor of 2024 – DEETS inside |

‘Pushpa 2: The Rise’ has shattered box office records, grossing ₹1000 crore worldwide. Allu Arjun’s stardom has skyrocketed, with reports suggesting he could earn Rs 300 crore from the film. Despite this, he isn’t India’s highest-paid actor, which is surprising.
The Hollywood Reporter India recently revealed the list of India’s highest-paid actors. Despite Pushpa 2’s success propelling Allu Arjun to the top tier, the number one spot still belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, who is enjoying a remarkable second innings in his career.

According to report, SRK earned over Rs 350 crore from his 55 percent profit share in Pathaan, making him the highest-paid actor in India. He may have earned even more from Jawan, but as a producer, he waived his fees. Despite his successful year, he has no releases in 2024.

The article also highlighted the earnings of other top Indian stars. Salman Khan makes around Rs 200 crore from satellite and digital rights. Aamir Khan takes 60 percent of profits, while Hrithik Roshan earns over Rs 100 crore per film. Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Ranbir Kapoor earn Rs 70-80 crore per film. Down south, Rajinikanth, Vijay, Prabhas, and Ram Charan also earn over Rs 100 crore, with Rajinikanth and Vijay reportedly earning over Rs 200 crore.
