Nagarjuna's Remuneration Sees 50% Hike For 'Bigg Boss Telugu 8': Deets Inside

Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, the charismatic host of 'Bigg Boss Telugu', has negotiated a substantial pay increase for the upcoming eighth season of the popular reality show.

In the previous seasons, Nagarjuna used to earn around Rs 15 to 20 crore for the entire season. This year, however, he has successfully secured a deal for an impressive Rs 30 crore, marking a significant 50 per cent hike in his remuneration, according to reports.

Despite this considerable pay increase, Nagarjuna's earnings for 'Bigg Boss Telugu' remain significantly lower compared to Salman Khan's staggering fee for the Hindi version of the show. The Bollywood superstar commands a whopping Rs 25 crores per week for 'Bigg Boss Hindi', which translates to Rs 12.5 crore per episode for the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' segments.

However, the Hindi version has huge viewership, across the globe. The Hindi speakers from parts of the world watch Salman Khan's show. Hence, the Bollywood superstar commands such a huge paycheck.

The upcoming season of 'Bigg Boss Telugu 8' is set to air on Star Maa and will also stream live on Disney Plus Hotstar, offering fans the opportunity to watch the drama unfold in real-time.
