Allu Arjun hikes his fee for Pushpa 2?

Allu Arjun’s success after the release of Pushpa has been phenomenal. The actor broke box office records after his unforgettable performance in the movie. However, as the sequel of the film is now in the making, the actor seems to have hiked up his fee. His fees for Pushpa: The Rise was  around reportedly around Rs. 45 crore, but the Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has hiked  his fee to  nearly double that  amount for  the sequel.

And not only Arjun, Pushpa director Sukumar may also have hiked his fees considerably  for the sequel.

A  source from Hyderabad  confirms, “Arjun’s fee for the Pushpa sequel  is around Rs. 85 crores which is a new record  in the Telugu film industry.”

While how much the director Sukumar is being paid is unclear as of yet, it will be a lot more than what he  got  for Pushpa The Rise

A  source close to Allu Arjun’s family  tells me, “Arjun’s  equation with the box office has changed after Pushpa. Though Pushpa The Rise may not have been as much of a grand hit in Andhra and Telangana as expected, its pan-India success places him above Prabhas in the all-India market.”
