Ravi Teja Could Earn Rs 25 Crore From Irumudi
Ravi Teja acted in a film called Irumudi.
Instead of taking all his acting payment at the beginning, he reportedly agreed to receive part of the money earned from ticket sales in the Nizam area.
The film has had very strong openings.
It reportedly made about Rs 29 crore in three days across the two Telugu states.
The film had been sold for about Rs 20 crore in those states, so distributors have already recovered their investment.
If the film continues to do well, Ravi Teja could earn Rs 25–30 crore from the Nizam share.
This could be more than his usual payment of Rs 22–23 crore.
The deal may encourage other actors and producers to use similar arrangements.
Ravi Teja has reportedly chosen a share of Irumudi’s Nizam theatrical business instead of taking his full fee upfront.
The Nizam share was initially valued at about Rs 7 crore but could rise to Rs 25–30 crore after the film’s strong performance.
Irumudi reportedly collected around Rs 29 crore share from the two Telugu states in its first three days.
The film was reportedly sold for about Rs 20 crore in the Telugu states, putting distributors beyond breakeven.
The arrangement could earn Ravi Teja Rs 8–10 crore more than his usual Rs 22–23 crore remuneration.

Quotes

A distributor commenting on Ravi Teja’s potential earnings from Irumudi’s Nizam business
“If stars agree to take a share of the theatrical business instead of insisting on a fixed remuneration, it would reduce the financial pressure on producers. At the same time, stars can earn substantially more when their films become big money-spinners.”
