Samantha's Remuneration For Citadel: How Much Salary Did Varun Dhawan's Co-Star Receive?

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is receiving widespread acclaim for her performance in Citadel: Bunny Honey, which premiered two days ago on Amazon Prime. The spy series, set in the 1990s, is conceptualized by the Russo Brothers but directed by the popular duo Raj and DK.

In Citadel: Bunny Honey, Varun Dhawan stars as Bunny, a stuntman who enlists struggling actress Honey (played by Samantha) for a covert assignment.

The series immerses viewers in a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. The latest trailer showcases even more heart-pounding action as the estranged elite spies reunite after years to protect their daughter, Nadia, when their dangerous past resurfaces.

One of the most talked-about aspects of the show is Samantha's bold scenes, including a liplock with co-star Varun Dhawan. This has sparked conversation, as Samantha had previously expressed reservations about performing steamy scenes. However, she embraced the challenges of this role, shedding past inhibitions to deliver a powerful performance.

How Much Is Samantha Paid For Citadel?

Samantha has received her biggest-ever paycheck for this project. She has been paid Rs 10 crore. Her previous highest was Rs 5 crore for her special number in Allu Arjun's Pushpa.

However, Varun Dhawan has been reportedly paid Rs 10 crore while other important characters played by Kay Kay Menon and Sikandar Kher have received Rs 1.5 crore and Rs 50 lakh, respectively.
