What: The actresses in the south Indian cinema enjoy massive popularity not just in south, but across the nation. Among the many talented leading ladies, Trisha Krishnan who was recently seen in hit films ‘Leo’ and ‘Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2’ is known to be the highest paid south actress currently, earning a remarkable 10 crore per film. The second spot has been secured by the Lady Superstar Nayanthara who also made her Hindi debut this year with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Jawan’. The versatile actress commands an impressive earning range of 5 to 10 crore per film. Closely following her in the third position is ‘KGF’ actress Srinidhi Shetty who reportedly charges Rs 7 crore per movie. The diva who impressed everyone with her dance moves on ‘Halmithi Habibo’ alongside Vijay in ‘Beast’ last year makes her cut at the fourth position and is known to charge Rs 5 crore per movie.
Furthermore: Last but not least, Anushka Shetty who is known for many popular films like ‘Baahubali’, ‘Size Zero’ and the latest ‘Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty’ secures the fifth position in the list of highest paid south actresses. She reportedly charges Rs 4 crore per film.
We say: The disparity between the payments of Bollywood heroines and South heroines are slowly scaling down. South heroines are on par with Bollywood now.
