With Rs 325 crore fee, meet highest paid actor of India in 2026
Hyderabad: Ranveer Singh has reportedly created history in Indian cinema with a massive earning of around Rs. 325 crore from Dhurandhar. This huge figure has made him one of the biggest talking points in the film industry, as he has now moved ahead of many top Indian stars in terms of single-project earnings.
The success of Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has changed the way people look at actor payments in India. The films became a huge box office success and turned into one of the biggest action franchises in recent times.
Ranveer Singh’s big earning did not come from a normal fixed salary. Reports suggest that the actor chose a profit-sharing model instead of taking a large upfront fee.
This means Ranveer took a risk by linking his payment to the film’s success. When Dhurandhar performed strongly in theatres and earned big money from digital, satellite and music rights, his final share reportedly reached Rs. 325 crore.
This smart move helped him earn much more than a regular acting fee.
How Dhurandhar Changed Bollywood BusinessDhurandhar was not just a film, it became a major business success. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy-action franchise attracted huge attention for its scale, action and box office numbers.
