Rajinikanth, the iconic actor whose rise from earning a modest Rs 30,000 per film to commanding Rs 100 crore per movie, continues to inspire millions. His latest film, Jailer, saw the superstar pocket a record-breaking Rs 110 crore as his fee, setting a new benchmark for the highest salary ever paid to an actor in Indian cinema.
Despite his hefty charges, Rajinikanth has earned a reputation for offering a unique guarantee to producers: if the film flops, he will refund his fee. Unlike many modern-day actors who rake in huge sums from brand endorsements, Rajinikanth has never taken part in such deals, yet his wealth continues to grow.
The actor owns a luxurious Rs 35 crore residence in Chennai’s upscale area and a wedding hall valued at Rs 20 crore, with a capacity to accommodate 1,000 guests. His car collection is nothing short of impressive, featuring a Rolls-Royce Ghost (Rs 6.5 crore), Rolls-Royce Phantom (Rs 16.5 crore), along with top-of-the-line models like BMW, Mercedes, Bentley, and Lamborghini, according to India.com
