The entertainment industry is always abuzz with talk of who the highest-paid hero in the country is, and the competition seems to be heating up between Telugu films and Bollywood blockbusters.

Following the enormous success of Baahubali 2, Prabhas had been touted as one of the highest-paid actors in the country, with rumors suggesting he commands anywhere between 120 to 150 crores per film. In addition, there have been reports of a massive deal with T-Series for five films.

However, other big names are also demanding high salaries, with stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh, and Vijay all said to be commanding salaries ranging from ₹70-100 crores.

The latest reports suggest that Shahrukh Khan has taken the top spot as the highest-paid superstar in the country, with a staggering remuneration of nearly ₹200 crores for his upcoming film "Pathaan." This amount is reportedly a 60% share in the domestic revenues of the movie, making him the new king of the box office.

It's important to note, however, that actors rarely reveal their true salaries, and there may be discrepancies in the rumors circulating about their paychecks. Nonetheless, the demand for high salaries is a reflection of the growing importance of the entertainment industry in India and the increasing popularity of films among audiences.
