Notably, the title inaugurated the 600-crore club for the Hindi Film Industry. However, following the immense success rumours started that Rajkummar Rao had hiked his fees. In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, the actor dismissed the claims saying he is not stupid to burden his producers.
Following the unprecedented success amassed by ‘Stree 2,’ rumours surfaced that Rajkumar Rao had hiked his fee to 5 crores. “I read different figures every day. I’m not stupid to burden my producers. Being a part of the biggest blockbuster is not going to change me as an actor. Money is just a by-product of my passion. I want to work all my life so I keep looking for roles that surprise me, excite me, challenge and help me grow.”
