Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has secured the top spot as the highest-paid actress of 2024, according to a Forbes list compiled with IMDb’s assistance. Known for her roles in blockbuster hits like “Kalki 2898 AD,” Deepika Padukone surpassed industry stalwarts to clinch the prestigious title.
Padukone’s earnings reportedly range between Rs 15 crores to Rs 30 crores per movie, placing her ahead of actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who commands Rs 15 crores to Rs 27 crores per film. Priyanka Chopra Jonas followed closely behind, earning between Rs 15 crores to Rs 25 crores per movie.
In a surprising turn, the list omitted South Indian actresses, highlighting Padukone’s dominance in the industry’s financial landscape. Katrina Kaif claimed the fourth spot, with earnings ranging from Rs 15 crores to Rs 25 crores per film, while Alia Bhatt rounded out the top five with alleged fees of Rs 10 to 20 crores per movie.
Other notable actresses on the list included Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, and Vidya Balan, each commanding substantial fees for their performances.
Deepika Padukone, who is expecting her first child, has several high-profile projects in the pipeline, including “Kalki 2898 AD” alongside Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, and international ventures. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt anticipates the release of “Jigra” and continues to collaborate with renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
