Allu Arjun reportedly refused remuneration for Pushpa 2; opts for THIS instead

Allu Arjun is undeniably one of the most versatile actors in Indian cinema. The actor is currently filming for the much awaited sequel of his 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise, titled Pushpa 2: The Rule, helmed by Sukumar. The first part of Pushpa was one of the most adored films of 2021 and even received two National Awards for Best Acting and Best Music Direction.

In the latest update, entertainment journalist Haricharan Pudippedi reported that Allu Arjun has actually refused remuneration or salary for Pushpa’s sequel. Instead, the Alu Vaikunthapurramuloo actor has opted for a percentage share of the profits once the film has been released.

As per reliable sources, #AlluArjun hasn’t taken any remuneration for #Pushpa2. Instead, as per agreement, he will take home 33 percent from the final revenue.

For eg; if the film makes 1000 cr (inclusive of OTT, satellite and theatrical collection), AA will get 33 percent ?
