Priyanka Chopra demands Rs 30 Cr for each film?

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is experiencing a massive resurgence in the Indian film industry. After officially signing on for SS Rajamouli’s upcoming global adventure thriller (tentatively titled SSMB29), the global star is reportedly flooded with offers from top filmmakers across Indian cinema—ranging from Bollywood to Telugu cinema.

Although she hasn’t confirmed any additional projects beyond SSMB29, buzz is strong that she is being considered for several high-profile ventures, including a mega-budget film featuring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee.

Rising demand, rising paychecks

With her increasing popularity and a packed schedule, Priyanka has reportedly hiked her remuneration to between Rs 20–30 crore per film. Industry insiders suggest that she now commands one of the highest fees among Indian actresses, especially for pan-India and globally targeted projects.

Let’s take a look at the key projects she’s either signed or is being seriously considered for:

Krrish 4: Reunion with Hrithik Roshan

According to recent reports, Priyanka Chopra is all set to reprise her iconic role as Priya in Krrish 4, the latest installment of the hit superhero franchise. This would mark her return to Bollywood’s big screens alongside Hrithik Roshan, rekindling the beloved on-screen chemistry they’ve shared in previous films.

Sources close to the production say that producer Aditya Chopra and Hrithik have locked Priyanka in as the female lead, offering her a staggering Rs 30 crore for the project—making it one of her most lucrative deals in Indian cinema to date. The film is currently in advanced stages of development, with an official announcement expected soon.

SSMB29: Rajamouli’s epic

Priyanka has already begun filming for SS Rajamouli’s untitled film with Mahesh Babu, currently referred to as SSMB29. This globe-trotting adventure thriller is expected to be a visual spectacle on par with Hollywood standards, and Priyanka plays a central role in the narrative.

She has reportedly completed two shooting schedules, one in Hyderabad and another in Odisha, and is expected to return to set for subsequent schedules later this year. Her paycheck for this film is reportedly around Rs 20 crore. With Rajamouli at the helm, the project is already drawing massive attention both nationally and internationally.

Did Priyanka Chopra turn down Allu Arjun’s film?

In one of the most talked-about developments, director Atlee—fresh off the success of Jawan—is said to have approached Priyanka for his next big venture starring Allu Arjun. Planned on a massive Rs 800 crore budget, the film is being positioned as a pan-global action entertainer, complete with top-tier Hollywood VFX studios and international stunt choreographers.

Atlee reportedly felt Priyanka would be the perfect fit, given her global brand appeal, Hollywood credibility, and strong acting chops. However, due to prior commitments—notably SSMB29 and Krrish 4—Priyanka is said to have politely declined the offer. According to sources, the decision was not based on financials but rather scheduling conflicts, as her current slate doesn’t allow for additional large-scale projects in the near future.

Upcoming projects

Beyond Indian cinema, Priyanka remains busy on the international front as well. Her Hollywood schedule includes: Citadel Season 2 – the Amazon Prime Video spy-thriller series where she plays the lead role alongside Richard Madden.
