This is how much superstar Rajinikanth was paid for Kabali

As was predicted by almost everyone, Kabali was a blockbuster hit and saw people lining up to the theatres from every part of the country- and in some cases even from abroad to catch not only the first day first show of the movie, but also numerous shows after. 

As a result, the movie not only earned Rs 200 crore even before its release , but also managed to break multiple records after it hit the big screen. 

But this also gets us wondering- how much did the Thalaiva earn fromkabali, the biggest movie of his career? 

We won't keep you wondering for long and give you the lowdown. 

For Kabali, Rajinikanth reportedly picked up what could probably be the highest remuneration for an actor in the country. 

The superstar was paid Rs 35 crore as remuneration, out of the budget of Rs 110 crore that Kabali was made on. 

Granted that's a lot of money, but it's definitely not the end of it. 

Additionally, the actor also gets a share from the profits his movies make at the box office- which means in this case, Rajinikanth would also be getting an additional Rs 45 crore as his share of the movie's profits. 

And, thus the total remuneration Rajinikanth earned from Kabali stands at a whopping Rs 80 crore. 

Yep, definitely the most any actor had been paid for a movie.
