Bollywood’s legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has outpaced some of India’s biggest stars, including Allu Arjun, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas, to emerge as the highest tax-paying celebrity for FY 2024-25.
Bachchan reportedly earned ₹350 crore during the financial year, resulting in a staggering ₹120 crore tax liability a 69% increase from the previous year’s ₹71 crore. This impressive figure places him ahead of even the highest-paid Indian actor, Prabhas, along with several other A-list stars.
The 82-year-old megastar remains at the top of his game, with major projects and endorsements fueling his income:
Kalki 2898 AD – Earned ₹20 crore for his role as Ashwatthama in the highly anticipated sci-fi epic.
Vettaiyan (Tamil Debut) – Took home ₹7 crore, marking his entry into Tamil cinema.
Brand Endorsements – Featured in multiple high-profile campaigns for brands like GSK, MediBuddy, and Bikaji, with endorsement fees ranging from ₹3 crore to ₹8 crore per ad.
The Race for the Top Spot
While Allu Arjun set new benchmarks with his ₹300 crore paycheck for Pushpa 2: The Rule, and Prabhas commanded ₹80 crore for Kalki 2898 AD, it was Amitabh Bachchan’s diverse revenue streams that ultimately secured his place as India’s top taxpayer.
Even at 82, the Shahenshah of Bollywood continues to dominate the industry, proving that age is just a number when it comes to success and financial influence!
