This Indian actor has the highest net worth among all others

The Indian film industry is well-known for its varied repertoire, musical numbers and unique storytelling format. Leading actors often charge more than a billion rupees per appearance and are likely to take on multiple projects each year. The highest paid male actors in India hail from Bollywood as well as the southern film industries — often colloquially referred to as Tollywood, Kollywood, Mollywood and Sandalwood.
Films in India are often made on multi-billion rupee budgets and successful movies can reap corresponding rewards. Kalki 2898 AD — directed by Nag Ashwin and released in 2022 — currently holds the record for being the most expensive movie made in India with an estimated budget of ₹600 crore. Tamil 3D science-fantasy action film 2.0 follows closely with an estimated budget of ₹570 crore.
Earlier in September blockbuster horror comedy “Stree 2” became the first-ever Hindi film to cross the ₹600 crore-mark at the domestic box office. The Amar Kaushik-directed film starring Rajkumar Rao and Shhraddha Kapoor is a sequel to the 2019 film “Stree”.
