Priyanka Chopra becomes SS Rajamouli's highest-paid heroine with a staggering fee for SSMB29? Reports

Priyanka Chopra is gearing up for her first collaboration with SS Rajamouli in the much-anticipated film SSMB29, which features Mahesh Babu in the lead role. The movie is already being described as a globe-trotting adventure, promising an unprecedented spectacle on-screen.

Recent reports have highlighted the impressive fees Priyanka Chopra is set to receive for this major project. According to Koimoi, the actress has reportedly requested a staggering Rs. 30 crore as her paycheck for the film.

This positions Priyanka as one of the highest-paid heroines the director has ever collaborated with. Notably, the Bajirao Mastani actress has eclipsed the fees charged by Alia Bhatt for RRR (Rs. 9 crore) and Anushka Shetty for Baahubali (Rs. 5 crore). Priyanka Chopra is reportedly set to overtake Deepika Padukone as the highest-paid actress in the industry with her earnings from SSMB29.

However, it's important to note that there has been no official confirmation from any sources associated with the film regarding these figures.

In the meantime, shooting for SSMB29 is already underway, with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra present at the Aluminium Factory in Hyderabad.

According to reports, SS Rajamouli has required the cast and crew to sign NDAs to ensure complete confidentiality during filming. Additionally, the use of cell phones has been prohibited for both the crew and the actors throughout the shooting schedule.

Furthermore, it has been reported that the SSMB29 team is expected to travel to the forests of Kenya to film some of the major scenes.

SSMB29, with a reported budget of over Rs. 1000 crore, is set to be one of the most ambitious Indian films ever made. The movie will showcase Rajamouli's signature larger-than-life storytelling, stunning visuals, and an exciting new pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, which fans are eagerly anticipating to see on screen.
