Conventionally speaking, Bollywood heroines, always used to receive higher remuneration than South Indian heroines, but this is changing slowly. Let us have a look at the son of the highest paid actresses in South Indian cinema now.

A recent report listed the highest-paid actresses in South Indian cinema, and Nayanthara has once again taken the top spot. According to the report, she is currently charging around ₹15 crore for each film, making her the most expensive actress in the South.

Sai Pallavi comes second on the list. She is said to be earning about ₹20 crore for both parts of the upcoming “Ramayana” movie. For her other projects, she is reportedly charging around ₹13 crore per film. Her growing popularity and consistent performances have helped her reach this position.

In third place is Tamannaah Bhatia, who is reportedly getting close to ₹10 crore for her recent projects. The report focuses only on South Indian actresses, so stars like Kiara Advani, Janhvi Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt were not included as they are mainly part of Bollywood.

The article highlights how Sai Pallavi’s rising fame and pay scale suggest she could soon reach Nayanthara’s level. While these figures are based on media reports and may not be officially confirmed, they show how South Indian actresses are now commanding strong market value and nationwide popularity.
