Highest earned celebrity of Tollywood is not a ‘HERO’

When it comes to paying tax actors already shell large amounts of money as income tax and service tax for their earnings. While the most possible guess about who is the highest paid tollywood celebrity leads to any of the top actors, the fact is that ace director Puri Jaganath leads the list.

Since Puri demands a profit from the earnings of the movies instead of remuneration, and most of his latest movies are super hits, he is bound to be one of the high income earning celebrity. His share of profits for Buisnessman is 7 crores and for DCM it would likely be around 5 crores. CGR is expected to fetch him a share of eight crores and his succeeding directorial venture with bunny is also expected to hit the screens this year which would again give him 5-6 crores. This means Puri will not weigh less than 25 crores by the end of this year when it comes to earnings. His share is likely to go up if DCM, CGR and Allu Arjun movies turn out to be hits. No other star will be able to compete with him. Puri’s management of timing and to wind up project quicker than any other is definitely making him one of the highest paid celebrity.
