Salary cut
Prabhas reduced remuneration for 'The Raja Saab'
In a surprising move, a source confirmed to OTTPlay that Prabhas reduced his usual remuneration from ₹150 crore to ₹100 crore for The Raja Saab.
This decision is believed to be influenced by the lukewarm response to his previous film, Adipurush.
Despite this setback, Prabhas's film Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire did well at the box office. Apart from that, Kalki 2898 AD also collected over ₹1,000 crore worldwide as per Sacnilk.
