Actress Shraddha Kapoor, a well-known figure in Bollywood, is often lauded as one of the industry’s brightest stars. She has been part of numerous successful movies. Most recently, her performance in Stree 2 garnered critical acclaim and widespread admiration. Similarly, Rajkummar Rao, who played a crucial role in the film, also received recognition for his acting skills.

Previously, it was mentioned that Rajkummar Rao earned approximately Rs 5 crores following the success of a film. Recently, a new piece of information indicates that Shraddha Kapoor is about to nearly double her fee and will be asking for Rs 17 crores for her upcoming project with Ekta Kapoor.

Previously, it was exclusively disclosed by TopMob that Shraddha Kapoor is in negotiations about starring in an upcoming suspenseful drama, which will be directed by Rahi Anil Barve and produced by Ekta Kapoor. We had previously mentioned that the production would commence in the latter part of 2025. However, a source has now informed Bollywood Hungama that Shraddha Kapoor, known for her role in Stree 2, has received an offer worth Rs 17 crore to take on this project with Ekta Kapoor.

The trade source has shared that the upfront fee received by Shraddha Kapoor for her upcoming movie is one of the highest, and it’s also one of the largest paychecks for a female lead in Hindi films today. Ekta Kapoor was thrilled to invest Rs 17 crore to secure Shraddha for the film, as this project will be Shraddha’s follow-up to the highest-grossing Hindi film, Stree 2.

Apart from being paid a 17-crore acting fee, Shraddha Kapoor also stands to earn a share of the film’s profits. Her contract includes a profit-sharing clause, meaning she will receive a portion of the earnings after the movie is released.

During an interview with Indian Express, Rajkummar Rao responded to rumors about him raising his fee to Rs 5 crore following the success of Stree 2. He stated, “I see various amounts each day. I’m not naive enough to put a strain on my producers. The actor made it clear that his success and the wealth it brings doesn’t alter his primary motivation.”

Apart from announcing his roles, the actor additionally mentioned that acting is more than just a job for him; it’s a deep-seated passion. He continues to strive for intriguing parts that not only engage him but also contribute to his artistic development.
