The excitement surrounding Samantha Ruth Prabhu's highly anticipated return to Telugu cinema with Maa Inti Bangaram has reached new heights, fueled by recent disclosures about the star-studded cast's earnings. Directed by B. V. Nandini Reddy, this action-packed family entertainer set in the 1990s marks a significant milestone for Samantha, who takes on the dual role of lead actress and producer after a three-year break. With industry insiders hinting at a lucrative profit-sharing arrangement for Samantha—who typically commands a fee of Rs 8 crore—interest has intensified regarding the salaries of co-stars Diganth Manchale, Sreemukhi, and Bollywood actor Gulshan Devaiah.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Salary Sparks Major Discussion
With the growing hype around the movie, Samantha's remuneration has become a hot topic. According to a report by Filmibeat, the actress usually earns approximately Rs 8 crore for her projects. However, Maa Inti Bangaram is not a conventional acting assignment for Samantha, as she is also producing the film. Industry sources suggest that her income could increase substantially depending on the movie's commercial success. Beyond these financial aspects, another factor adds to the film's appeal.
Diganth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Gautami Enhance the Star Power
The supporting cast features familiar faces from various entertainment sectors. Diganth Manchale, who portrays Samantha's husband in the film, is reported to receive Rs 50 lakh for his role. Meanwhile, Gulshan Devaiah plays the antagonist and is expected to make a significant impact on the storyline. Although his exact payment remains undisclosed, he once mentioned receiving substantial fees per scene. Veteran actress Gautami also makes a crucial appearance in the movie.
Sreemukhi and the Ensemble Cast Strengthen the Film
Another prominent artist in the cast is Sreemukhi, a well-known TV presenter and actress. Reports indicate that she typically charges between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 40 lakh depending on the project. While the producers have not officially announced individual salaries, the film has gained popularity by assembling such a diverse ensemble.
