Vicky Kaushal’s latest epic, Chhaava, remains an unstoppable force, showcasing impressive stability at the box office.
The film raked in nearly ₹20 crore on its second Tuesday (Day 12), even managing a slight increase compared to Monday’s earnings.
If the upward trend continues, Chhaava will cross the ₹400 crore milestone by Thursday (Day 14), further cementing its blockbuster status.
Vicky Kaushal’s Massive Payday
Leading the charge, Vicky Kaushal, who portrays Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, reportedly earned a hefty ₹10 crore, which accounts for nearly seven percent of the film’s total budget.

This paycheck matches his fee for Bad Newz but is slightly lower than the ₹12 crore he received for URI: The Surgical Strike.
His commanding screen presence and powerful performance have been widely praised, making his paycheck well-earned.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Remuneration
Playing the role of Maharani Yesubai Bhonsale, Rashmika Mandanna was reportedly paid ₹4 crore.

While her presence adds a layer of emotional depth to the story, critics have noted that she struggled with the language and accent, which slightly impacted her portrayal.
Akshaye Khanna’s Surprising Salary
One of the biggest surprises has been Akshaye Khanna’s paycheck.
Taking on the formidable role of Aurangzeb, the seasoned actor was reportedly paid just ₹2.5 crore, making his fee five times lower than Vicky’s.

This is an increase from his ₹2 crore salary for Drishyam 2, but many believe his intense and gripping performance in Chhaava warranted a higher paycheck.
Supporting Cast Earnings
The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast, each with varying paychecks:

- Ashutosh Rana, portraying Hambirrao Mohite, reportedly earned ₹80 lakh.
- Divya Dutta, who played Rajmata Soyarabai Bhosale, received ₹45 lakh.
- Diana Penty, in a smaller role, had the least impact but was still part of the ensemble.
What’s Next for Chhaava?
Having already achieved massive numbers, Chhaava is now aiming to cross ₹400 crore, with strong word-of-mouth fueling its continued success.
Breaking records yet again, Chhaava becomes the first Bollywood film to surpass 200 crore nett in the Mumbai circuit.
This incredible milestone cements its status as a true blockbuster and a film that has struck a chord with audiences like never before.

After a phenomenal run across North India and worldwide, the blockbuster sensation Chhaava is now set to captivate Telugu audiences.
Backed by Geetha Film Distributions, the film is gearing up for a grand release on March 7.
