His pay rate was reportedly $2 million per day, a figure confirmed by Yugi Sethu, who stated, “Kamal sir’s stature is such. He is getting paid ₹150 crore for 20 days of the call sheet for Kalki 2898 AD.” Sethu later corrected himself, emphasizing the daily rate.
The film features a star-studded cast, including notable actors like Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, which adds to the anticipation surrounding its release.
