Mahesh Babu is one of the highest-paid superstars in the Telugu film industry. Recently, he made headlines when he said that Bollywood cannot afford him. So, how much does the actor earn? Trade expert Ramesh Bala gives us an approximate number and it is mind-blowing. Mahesh Babu will be seen next in director Parasuram Petla's Sarkaru Vaari Paata.
Sources reveal that Mahesh Babu is one of the highest paid stars in the country. In a recent interaction, he said that he received a lot of offers from Bollywood, but he had to say no to them. He also added that Bollywood cannot afford him.
When asked about the fee he charges per film, trade expert Ramesh Bala said, “It's a well educated guess that he gets around Rs 35-50 crore per film. Also, it depends on each film. So, the amount varies depending on the project.”
During the promotions of Adivi Sesh's Major, Mahesh Babu was asked if he would make his Bollywood debut soon.
Responding to the question, Mahesh Babu said, "I did get a lot of offers in Hindi, but I don't think they can afford me. I don't want to waste my time working in an industry which can't afford me. The stardom and the respect I get here [in South] is huge, so I never really thought of leaving my industry and going to some other industry. I have always thought of doing films here and becoming bigger. My dream is coming true now and I can't be happier."
The Sarileru Neekevvaru actor received massive backlash for his comment. He has now clarified that he loves all languages and hasn't belittled any industry.
