On June 27, 2025, the movie “Kannappa,” with Vishnu Manchu in the main part, was released on the big screen. Notable actors like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohanlal made brief appearances, and it appears that the Kesari actor received a substantial compensation for his role.
Did Akshay Kumar charge Rs 10 crore for his cameo in Kannappa?
As per a report from 123 Telugu, it’s rumored that Akshay Kumar pocketed an impressive sum of ten crores INR for his guest role. In the movie, he portrayed Lord Shiva and spent five days on set.
In contrast, it’s reported that actors such as Prabhas and Mohanlal declined receiving their paychecks, unlike the Bollywood star who mentioned a large sum for his earnings.
The report goes on to say that the Kannappa team did not express any issues regarding Akshay’s request, and since the actor promptly agreed to the film’s cameo, they were given a “unique opportunity” or “extraordinary permission”, depending on preference.
In a smaller screen appearance, Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Lord Shiva left an impact on viewers due to the significance of the character.
