Rajamouli’s Shocking Remuneration Rumour for SSMB29 Goes Viral

In the world of cinema where stars once ruled the financial charts, directors are now stealing the spotlight and their paychecks are proving it. Lately, it’s not just actor salaries trending online, but also what top directors are taking home. With names like Sukumar, Prashanth Neel, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and of course, S.S. Rajamouli, dominating conversations, it’s clear that filmmakers with a consistent hit record are finally being valued like the real stars behind the screen.

The latest buzz? Rajamouli might be charging a jaw-dropping Rs 200 crore for SSMB29, his much-hyped adventure film with Mahesh Babu. This isn’t just any number it’s reportedly more than the hero himself is being paid. Given Rajamouli’s track record with pan-India blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR, fans aren’t entirely surprised. With the film being touted as a massive Rs 1000 crore jungle action-adventure, many believe there’s no one else who can pull off such a vision. Whether it's the mind-blowing scale, world-building, or his Midas touch, Rajamouli’s presence itself is enough to spark anticipation.

However, the conversation doesn’t stop at just the number. Whispers in the industry suggest that Rajamouli’s deal might not be a flat fee but a share in the profits much like Sukumar reportedly did for Pushpa. If true, it reflects a smart shift in how top directors are now securing their pay. It’s no longer just about the upfront cheque, but about long-term value and involvement. With such massive budgets and stakes, it only makes sense that creators who deliver results are rewarded accordingly.

As discussions heat up online, one thing is clear audiences are watching not just what’s on screen, but also what’s happening behind it. There’s growing awareness that directors like Rajamouli don’t just make movies, they build cinematic universes. So whether it’s Rs 200 crore in hand or a stake in the profits, fans just want the same thing: a movie that’s worth every rupee.
