The internet flew into a frenzy shortly after the Adipurush teaser was unveiled in Ayodhya on October 2. The trailer for the movie had over 72 million views in a little more than 24 hours, making it the most-watched in recent memory. The appearance of the figures, who range from Ravana to Lord Hanuman, has drawn a lot of criticism.
The story of the movie is based on the Ramayana, which states that king Ram of Ayodhya travelled to the island of Lanka with the aid of Hanuman’s army in order to recover his wife Sita, who had been kidnapped by Ravana, the ruler of Lanka, 7,000 years before.

Om Raut is the film’s director; T-Series Films and Retrophiles are its producers; and it was concurrently shot in Hindi and Telugu. Its filming was primarily done in Mumbai from February 2021 to November 2021 for the main production.
The movie is slated for a regular, 3D, and IMAX 3D theatrical release on January 12, 2023. The film will be released in Hindi and Telugu but will also have dubbed versions in Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. Adipurush is one of the costliest Indian movies ever filmed, with a huge budget of Rs. 500 crores (US$63 million).

The historical drama boasts a star-studded ensemble that includes well-known actors like Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan, and it is predicted to have the highest budget of all the movies released in 2023. However, it means that the remuneration of the cast must be staggering.
So, let’s find out how much they were paid for their roles:
1. Prabhas
In the same manner that Lord Ram overshadowed every other character in the true tale, South superstar Prabhas, who will play Lord Ram in the movie, has outbid everyone in terms of cost. According to multiple media reports, Prabhas reportedly got a staggering sum of Rs. 120 crores for the part of Ram.
In the meanwhile, it was also claimed that Prabhas had increased his payment to Rs. 150 crores, although no official word has been received on this.
