Rocking Star Yash, known for his power-packed performance in the “KGF” franchise, is making a grand Bollywood debut – with a villainous twist! He’s reportedly commanding a staggering Rs. 150 crore for his portrayal of Ravanasura in the upcoming big-budget film “Ramayan.”
This move is a significant milestone, potentially making Yash the first Kannada actor to command such a high fee in India. Despite playing the antagonist, this hefty demand reflects Yash’s immense popularity in South Indian cinema.
Yash won’t be alone in this epic retelling. He’ll be joined by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and the talented Sai Pallavi as Sita. Interestingly, reports suggest Ranbir’s fee is lower than Yash’s for this mega-production. The strategic casting of Yash and Sai Pallavi is expected to boost the film’s reach across India, particularly in the South where both actors enjoy a massive fan following.
“Ramayan” is envisioned as a multi-lingual release, capitalizing on the star power of Yash and Sai Pallavi to draw in a diverse audience. While it remains to be seen if Yash’s fee sets a new benchmark for Kannada actors, his negotiations undeniably highlight the evolving landscape of Indian cinema, where regional stars are playing an increasingly important role.
