Ranveer Singh has achieved a new milestone in Indian cinema. The Bollywood star has reportedly earned a staggering Rs 325 crore from the two-part Dhurandhar franchise, making him the highest-paid actor in the country. While the figure has not been officially confirmed, trade reports suggest that the amount came through a smart profit-sharing agreement instead of a regular remuneration. Unlike the usual practice of charging a huge upfront fee, Ranveer reportedly accepted a lower fixed payment and chose to share the film's profits with the makers. The gamble paid off in a big way as Dhurandhar and its sequel emerged as massive blockbusters at the worldwide box office.

Both Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar opted to work on a profit sharing model and this fetched them big-money because of the model and the franchise ending up as a massive blockbuster. With reported earnings of Rs 325 crore, Ranveer has overtaken several top stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, Allu Arjun and Prabhas in terms of remuneration from a single project. More than the money, this success has re-established Ranveer Singh as one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar produced the film jointly.
