Vicky Kaushal has transformed brilliantly into Sam Manekshaw on-screen and is winning hearts with Sam Bahadur. But you’ll be shocked if you know how much he charged for this transformation. The actor reportedly has charged a whopping 10 crore for this brilliant transformation on-screen.

Helmed by Meghna Gulzar, the biographical war drama has been made on a reported budget of 55 crore; while it is Vicky’s second war film after Uri: The Surgical Strike, the actor has been appreciated for his transformation into the former Army Chief.

The film has been in the making for more than three years, and earlier, Ranveer Singh was being considered for the lead role, but with time, Meghna rested her trust with the Raazi actor, and they reunited for the film. Meghna tried connecting to Ranveer while she was working with his wife, Deepika Padukone, in Chhapaak, but things did not materialize.

While Vicky Kaushal has been paid 10 crore, which is a considerable hike from his previous releases Govinda Naam Mera and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, check out how much the rest of the star cast has been paid.
