Mumbai: Actor Janhvi Kapoor has reportedly received the highest remuneration of her career for her role in the Telugu film Peddi, earning ₹8 crore to star opposite Ram Charan.
The reported fee marks a significant increase from her previous Telugu project and reflects her growing demand in the South Indian film industry following a series of successful releases.
Career-best remuneration
According to industry reports, Janhvi Kapoor was paid ₹8 crore for her role as the female lead in Peddi, making it the biggest pay cheque of her acting career so far.
The reported remuneration represents a substantial increase from the ₹5 crore she is said to have received for Devara. Industry sources suggest the increase reflects her rising market value and growing popularity among Telugu cinema audiences.
Reports further indicate that producers viewed her casting as a commercially strong choice following the success of her earlier projects.
Growing presence in Telugu cinema

Peddi’s box-office performance
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi has reportedly performed strongly in the Telugu market.
While the film found considerable success among Telugu-speaking audiences, reports suggest its Hindi-dubbed version did not generate a similar response at the box office.

According to reports, she is set to feature in director Atlee’s upcoming project Raka alongside Allu Arjun.
