Bhooth Bangla Cast Fees: Here's How Much Did Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi and Others Charge For The Film

Akshay Kumar is finally stepping back into the horror-comedy world, a genre he basically made his own with the legendary ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’. As the buzz for ‘Bhooth Bangla’ reaches a fever pitch, everyone is talking about the money behind the scenes. Reports regarding the cast's salaries are doing the rounds online, and the figures tell a pretty interesting story about a superstar adjusting his market value while still remaining the top earner by a massive margin.

Akshay Kumar Bhooth Bangla Fee

Akshay’s fee is quite something when you look at the rest of the cast. According to a Sacnilk report, the actor is charging ₹50 crore for his lead role in ‘Bhooth Bangla’. While this might be a step down from his peak figures, it is still ahead of what the rest of the ensemble is taking home.

Tabu Bhooth Bangla Fee

If the reported numbers are accurate, Tabu is pocketing ₹2.5 crore for the film. Interestingly, this actually represents a 16% pay cut compared to her previous outing in ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, where she reportedly earned ₹3 crore.

Bhooth Bangla Budget and Akshay Kumar’s Total Paycheck

The overall production budget for ‘Bhooth Bangla’ sits at approximately ₹120 crore. When you factor in Akshay Kumar’s ₹50 crore fee, it is clear that the leading man is consuming nearly 42% of the entire film’s budget. It’s a massive slice of the pie, but with his track record in this genre, the producers are clearly banking on his ‘Khiladi’ charm to draw in the crowds.

‘Bhooth Bangla’ is a fantasy horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan. It marks a long-awaited reunion between the director and Akshay Kumar, who haven't worked together in this space since their 2007 smash hit. With a total budget of ₹120 crore and a cast that balances nostalgia with fresh faces, the film is set to be one of the biggest releases of this year.
