Not many may have expected Aditya Dhar\u2019s spy action thriller Dhurandhar<\/a> to explode at the box office the way it has. Following widespread critical acclaim, the film has also struck a strong chord with audiences in a big way. The Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna starrer has collected \u20b9218 crore at the Indian box office so far, making it the sixth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025 and placing it just behind Kantara: Chapter 1 (Hindi), which stands at \u20b9224.53 crore.<\/p>\n

This success naturally raises an interesting question: how much were Dhurandhar\u2019s leading cast members paid, and what is the salary difference between Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

Dhurandhar Cast Salaries<\/p>\n

According to a report by Business Today<\/a>, this is what the main cast members of Dhurandhar were paid for their respective roles in the film:<\/p>\n

Ranveer Singh<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s leading man, Ranveer Singh<\/a>, who essays the role of Hamza Ali Mazari, was reportedly paid \u20b950 crore for the action thriller. Given Dhurandhar\u2019s strong box office performance, the hefty fee now appears justified. Unsurprisingly, he stands as the highest-paid actor in the film, leading the narrative as its central protagonist.<\/p>\n

Akshaye Khanna<\/p>\n

Despite delivering one of the film\u2019s most acclaimed performances as the primary antagonist, Rehman Dakait, Akshaye Khanna<\/a> was reportedly paid a comparatively modest \u20b92.5 crore. With his portrayal emerging as a significant highlight of the film, many might feel the underrated actor deserved a more substantial paycheck.<\/p>\n

\nSanjay Dutt<\/p>\n

The Munnabhai M.B.B.S. star was reportedly paid around \u20b910 crore for portraying SP Chaudhary Aslam in Dhurandhar. Considering his commanding screen presence, established stardom, and fan following, the fee appears aligned with both his role and his theatrical pull.<\/p>\n

\nR. Madhavan<\/p>\n

Portraying Intelligence Bureau chief Ajay Sanyal, R. Madhavan was reportedly paid \u20b99 crore for his role in Dhurandhar, which is \u20b91 crore less than Sanjay Dutt\u2019s remuneration. Given the importance of his character in the narrative, the fee appears proportionate to his impactful performance and stature.<\/p>\n
