Despite being unfamiliar to Hindi-speaking audiences, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is a superstar in the south, where she has worked on a number of critically acclaimed and commercially successful productions. One of the best-paid South actresses is Sam, who most recently appeared in Kushi alongside Vijay Deverakonda.

Samantha is a powerhouse in the film industry, earning crores for each project she embarks on. Her payment for a movie has frequently been the subject of debate, albeit it hasn't always been the same. Samantha had her share of hurdles before becoming one of the most recognizable actors, coming from a non-film background with no godfather in the business. The Yashoda actor has come a long way from receiving payments in lakhs every film to commanding a stunning sum of Rs 10 crore for Citadel.

At the moment, Samantha is expanding her field of expertise and reaching new career heights. Dookudu (2011), Attarintiki Daredi (2013), Kaththi (2014), Janatha Garage (2016), Mersal (2017), and Mahanati (2018) are a few of her best-known works.

Samantha became one of the highest-paid Tollywood actresses after starring in numerous projects and building a solid fan following; according to a popular news portal report, she reportedly charged Rs 75 lakhs for each film in 2017. She appeared in Mersal and Raju Gari Gadhi 2 in 2017.

After delivering back-to-back successes, she reportedly raised her film rates. After 2017, when the Shaakuntalam actress started charging Rs 3 crore for every film, Samantha's earnings skyrocketed. She reportedly demanded between Rs 2-3 crore for The Family Man 2. However, her compensation for Pushpa item number Oo Antava surprised the entire business. According to reports, Samantha was paid Rs 5 crore for her role in Allu Arjun's chart-topping movie.

Currently, if rumours are to be believed, Samantha Ruth Prabhu would receive Rs 10 crore for her work on Citadel. That is a significant increase, making her the highest-paid South actress alongside Nayanthara, who also demanded Rs 10 crore for her highly anticipated Bollywood debut in Jawan.
