ROBOT  2​: Akshay Kumar beats Rajinikanth, becomes highest paid Indian actor

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is touted as the highest paid actor in India. The Thalaiva, who usually charges more than Rs 80 crore per film, is only second to Jackie Chan in the list of highest paid actors in Asia.

Even in 2010, the Style Mannan was paid Rs 50 crore for Shankar's blockbusterEnthiran. Most Rajinikanth films ensure a record opening at the Box Office. However, his previous two films, Lingaa and Kochadaiiyaan were huge disasters at the Box Office.

Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan are the only two superstars in Bollywood who can be compared to Rajinikanth in terms of remuneration. Reportedly, both the Mujhe Shaadi Karoge actors used to charge Rs 35 crore to Rs 40 crore per film.
