Reportedly, the chartbuster success of the action-thriller Dhurandhar has underscored significant pay disparity in Bollywood. Reports are tricking in that lead actor Ranveer Singh commanded a massive fee of up to ₹50 crore, while Akshaye Khanna the critically acclaimed co-star in Dhurandhar whose performance as the chilling antagonist Rehman Dakait has been hailed as one of the year’s best was reportedly paid a comparatively modest ₹2.5 crore. This vast difference in remuneration, with Khanna earning nearly 20 times less than Singh, has ignited a lively public debate on social media, with fans arguing that the veteran actor’s scene-stealing, nuanced portrayal was truly “worth ₹50 crore” on screen, calling for a greater alignment amid talent and financial reward in the industry.
