Salman Khan, Chitrangada Singh
Salman Khan’s upcoming film Battle of Galwan has sparked intense discussion, not just for its patriotic theme but also for the reported fees of its cast. According to industry buzz, Salman, who headlines the film, has reportedly been paid around Rs 110 crore, once again underlining his position as one of Bollywood’s highest-paid superstars.
All about the Battle of Galwan
Inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese forces, Battle of Galwan is a war drama that aims to capture the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film is said to focus on the emotional and physical challenges faced by the army during the historic confrontation. Salman will be seen in a never-before-seen avatar, portraying a soldier, a role that has already generated strong buzz among fans following the teaser’s release.
Here's the breakdown of cast members' fee
While Salman’s fee has grabbed headlines, reports about the remuneration of other actors in the film have also drawn attention. Actress Chitrangda Singh, who plays the female lead, is reportedly being paid around Rs 2 crore for her role. The wide gap between the lead star and the actress has reignited conversations about pay disparity in the Hindi film industry, particularly in big-budget projects led by major stars.
Veteran actor Govinda, who is also part of the film, is said to be earning approximately Rs 8 crore for his appearance. Other supporting actors in the ensemble, including Ankur Bhatia and Heera Sohal, are reportedly being paid between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1.5 crore, depending on the length and importance of their roles.
The stark contrast in salaries has once again highlighted how Bollywood films are often driven by star power, with a significant portion of the budget allocated to the leading actor. Industry insiders suggest that Salman’s massive fee reflects not just his screen presence but also his ability to draw audiences and ensure strong box office openings.
Despite the ongoing debate around fees, Battle of Galwan remains one of the most anticipated films on Salman Khan’s slate. With its patriotic narrative, high production value and a strong supporting cast, the film is expected to strike a chord with audiences when it releases in theatres in 2026.
