Deepika’s Record Remuneration for Allu Arjun’s Raaka... How Many Crores Is It?

One of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema right now is “Raaka”, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee. From the moment its first poster was released, the film grabbed attention across the country. Allu Arjun’s intense look, appearing as half-man and half-beast, has raised huge curiosity. The movie is said to be a dark science fiction action drama, not a regular commercial film. Adding to the buzz, Deepika Padukone is expected to play a key role in the film.

The movie is reportedly being produced by Sun Pictures under the leadership of Kalanithi Maran with a massive budget of over ₹800 crore. The story is said to include elements like parallel universes, rebirth and mythology, creating a unique cinematic world. There is also talk that Allu Arjun may appear in multiple roles, which has further increased the excitement. A major highlight is Deepika’s remuneration, which is rumored to be around ₹25 crore - one of the highest ever for a female actor in Indian cinema.

Despite recent controversies around her work conditions and pay demands, the makers seem to have agreed to her terms, showing her strong market value. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is also said to be taking around ₹175 crore along with a share in profits, reflecting his huge popularity after the Pushpa series. Actress Rashmika Mandanna is also expected to play an important role. With high-end visual effects and international technical teams working on it, “Raaka” aims to set a new benchmark in Indian cinema. The film is expected to release in summer 2027 and is likely to create big records at the box office.
