Prabhas will play Lord Rama's role in Adipurush

Prabhas has acquired immense pan-India appeal after the success of Baahubali franchise. After working with Shraddha Kapoor in the 2019 action film Saaho, the Telugu star will be seen in the Hindi film Adipurush next. It is a modern-day retelling of the epic Ramayana and will hit the screens early next year amid huge fan anticipation. Meanwhile, Prabhas' paycheck for the movie has been a topic of discussion among the fans since long.

Prabhas charged whopping amount for Adipurush

Prabhas is one of the most in-demand actors in India right now. After the mega-success of Baahubali, Prabhas' market value has gone up by a huge margin. Even though his two films post Baahubali: The Conclusion, Saaho and Radhe Shyam, failed to match the expectations, he still charges a bomb for movie roles. While it was speculated that Prabhas charged Rs 100 crore for Adipurush, the figure is said to be even more than that. As per reports circulating online, Prabhas took home not Rs 100 crore but Rs 120 crore for the role as Lord Rama. Given his stardom and pan-India appeal, such a huge salary isn't unbelievable.
