Pushpa 2: Is Fahadh Faasil The Highest-Paid Villain In The Country, Thanks To The Allu Arjun Starrer? Aavesham Star Reacts, “I Don’t Have To Make Money…”
In 2021, Fahadh became a part of Pushpa: The Rise, where he played the villain SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
Fahadh Faasil is currently basking in the success of his Malayalam movie, Aavesham. The talented actor has been delivering back-to-back impressive performances. Fahadh has won hearts with his talent not only in the Malayalam film industry but also in the Tollywood industry. He’s a part of Sukumar’s Pushpa 2 movie, where he plays the villain.
In 2021, Fahadh became a part of Pushpa: The Rise, where he played the villain SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. He left a great impression on the masses with his performance. He was a solid bad guy for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj. We will see him back in action in the sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule. In a new interview, the actor revealed that he doesn’t get paid much for Sukumar’s movie, which would put him under the “highest paid villain” category.
As reported by Indian Express, the Aavesham star said he isn’t the highest-paid villain in the country. “Money is, of course, a factor, but it is not the only factor. Something has to excite me to make me leave my house. And it is not just money. I absolutely love interacting with Sugu (director Sukumar), Sir. I know every time I need him, he is there. So, we were making a commercial Indian film. I go there with that understanding. And there is happiness in working around with everyone there. I absolutely enjoy it. But I don’t know if I am the highest-paid villain in the country,” the actor said.
Furthermore, the Pushpa 2 star said he doesn’t have to act in movies like Pushpa to make a lot of money. He made money with Kumbalangi Nights and Trance and doesn’t have to depend on acting to earn more. He belongs to a family that’s been making movies for 40 years, and he knows it’s an unstable business. He added, “I don’t have to make money from acting. I can manage the financial instability, but I am worried about the instability as an individual. I have seen people change. I wish I stay stable regardless of my films doing well or badly. I came to do two films and go back. Everything else is a bonus.”
Meanwhile, along with Allu Arjun and Fahadh, Pushpa 2 also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Jagapathi Babu and others. The sequel will hit the theatres on August 15, 2024.
