Leading the pack is Shahid Kapoor, who reportedly walked away with a fee of Rs 45 crore. If these figures hold true, it makes him the highest-paid actor in the film by a wide margin. His role as Ustara sits at the centre of the story and carries the weight of Bhardwaj’s layered narrative style.
Next up is Avinash Tiwary, who plays Jalal, a ruthless antagonist driving much of the film’s tension. According to multiple reports, Avinash earned around Rs 7 crore for the role, reflecting his growing presence in big-ticket projects.
Triptii Dimri appears as Afsha, an innocent woman caught in a storm of love, betrayal and revenge. Her character reportedly forms the emotional backbone of the film. She is said to have charged Rs 6 crore, marking another step up in her rising career graph.
Among the female leads, Tamannaah Bhatia is believed to be the highest-paid. She plays Rabia and reportedly earned Rs 7 crore for her role. Disha Patani, who appears as Julie, a dancer, is rumoured to have received Rs 2 crore.
Veteran star Nana Patekar essays the eccentric Ismail Khan and is said to have charged Rs 4 crore. The film also features special appearances by Farida Jalal and Vikrant Massey, adding further star power.
