DP has maintained a career trajectory that most can only dream of. While fans are busy counting the box office numbers of her films, we decided to decode the numbers on her paychecks! The actress, post-COVID, has appeared in some of the biggest blockbusters of Indian Cinema, and her paychecks for these biggies are enormous!
Deepika Padukone’s Highest Paid Film Post-COVID
If you thought Pathaan or Jawan brought in Deepika Padukone’s biggest paychecks, post-COVID, then you might have to think again. We scrolled and dug the salaries of her last six big-budget outings, and her highest-paid film surprised us. While one of them is Kalki 2898 AD, she got paid the exact same amount for Shakun Batra’s Gehraaiyan, which was not even a theatrical release!

For Kalki 2898 AD and Gehraaiyaan, the Om Shanti Om superstar got paid a whopping 20 crore. Reports suggest that Deepika Padukone even hiked her fee for the next project and demanded a 25 crore paycheck. But the demand was not met by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, along with her other demand of an 8-hour shift, since she is already a mother of one, and baby number 2 is on the way!
Deepika Padukone’s Cumulative Fee Since 2020
Since 2020, Deepika Padukone has earned 90+ crore with 6 major films and other special appearances and cameos.
