Kamal Haasan’s Role in Kalki 2898 AD
Kamal Haasan’s recent resurgence at the box-office, particularly after the success of the 2022 film Vikram, has reportedly contributed to his increased market value. In the highly anticipated sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, Haasan has been cast in a significant role as Supreme Yaskin.
As the film gears up for its release, it has been revealed that Kamal Haasan received a staggering ₹150 crore for his involvement. This remuneration positions him as the highest-paid actor in the film.
Yugi Sethu, a key figure associated with the project, stated, “Kamal sir’s stature is such. He is getting paid ₹150 crore for 20 days of the call sheet for Kalki 2898 AD.” However, it has been reported that Haasan only shot for 10 days, raising questions about the initial claim of 20 days.
In terms of daily earnings, Haasan’s pay rate was reportedly $2 million per day. Sethu later corrected himself, confirming, “Sorry, I correct myself then, it’s $2 million per day.” This figure underscores Haasan’s prominent status in the industry.
The film Kalki 2898 AD, which features a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, is set to be released in 2024. Despite his limited screen time in the first part of the film, Haasan’s role is considered significant.
Observers note that Haasan’s impressive remuneration reflects not only his talent but also the growing trend of high pay rates for top actors in the Indian film industry. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build around the film and its cast.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final cut of the film and how Haasan’s character will be portrayed. However, the excitement surrounding Kalki 2898 AD is palpable, with fans eager to see the performances of such esteemed actors.
