Co-stars' earnings
Mandanna and Aggarwal's remuneration for 'Sikandar' revealed
The same report also indicated that Mandanna, who is sharing screen space with Khan for the first time, has been paid ₹5 crore for her role.
This comes after her successful performances in films like Animal and Pushpa 2.
Meanwhile, Aggarwal's remuneration for the film is ₹3 crore.
The report did not clarify if Khan has opted for a profit-sharing model for this film, as he has done in his other projects.
Revenue recovery
'Sikandar' recovers a significant portion of budget pre-release
Reportedly, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has already reportedly recovered ₹165 crore from the OTT, television, and music rights of Sikandar.
Netflix has bought the streaming rights for ₹80 crore. If the film crosses ₹350 crore at the box office, then the deal will go up to ₹100 crore.
This means about 80% of the movie's budget has been recovered even before its release!
Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar are also part of the cast.
