Normally, the pay scale in films is decided by the number of days an actor is needed and also on their star status.
If it is a comedian like Brahmanandam he may charge in lakhs for just one call-sheet and if it is a new talent, he or she may only make thousands.
Also, Top billed cast will be the hero and after him heroine or the most in-demand supporting actor and then others. This is the order and junior artists will be paid according to the union rules.
Always hero gets more than other cast members in our film Industry but for Silly Fellows, a movie starring Allari Naresh and Sunil, in the direction of Bheemineni Srinivasa Rao, both of the actors are paid equal amounts it seems.
While Allari Naresh is the hero, Sunil is playing supporting lead. This is his first film after he took a decision to not just do hero roles but characters too.
So, both of them being paid same Rs.1.5 crores has become a discussion topic in the Industry circles. Both the actors need a hit and they are hoping this film could be that.
