The salary for the starcast of Chhaava is out and in a shocking turn of events, Akshaye Khanna, who plays the lead antagonist in the movie, is also one of the lowest paid actors. He has taken home only 1/5th of Vicky Kaushal's salary, and just slightly lesser than Rashmika Mandanna. Here's the fees of the leading cast...
Vicky Kaushal's fees for Chhaava
Vicky Kaushal has charged 1/3rd of what Chhaava earned on day 1 Box Office. Yes, he took back Rs. 10 crore, according to KoiMoi. Interestingly, the actor's take-home salary for Bad Newz was also the same, even if he had hiked his price for URI. For the 2019 blockbuster film, Vicky had earned Rs. 12 crore.
Rashmika Mandanna's fees for Chhaava
Rashmika Mandanna took home less than half of what Vicky Kaushal earned through the movie. She charged Rs. 4 crore to play his on-screen wife Yesubai Bhonsale.
Akshaye Khanna takes home 1/5th salary of Vicky Kaushal
Akshaye Khanna, who plays the lead antagonist Aurangzeb in the movie, has proven his worthy acting with the transformation and all are in awe of him again. But when it comes to the finances, he was paid only 1/5th of Vicky. The actor earned Rs. 2.5 crore for the movie, which is surprisingly just 0.5 crore more than his take-away salary for Drishyam 2.

Divya Dutta's fees for Chhaava

Chhaava, which tells the tale of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is now out in theatres. The movie broke records on day 1 itself and continues its successful run on day 2 as well.
