Without a doubt, one of the most well-liked and sought-after female celebrities in the nation right now is Ashmika Mandanna. She is well on her way to becoming a genuine pan-Indian icon, with back-to-back productions and an expanding influence across many film industries. However, her recent compensation figures have left everyone shocked and intrigued, especially after her huge
success in
pushpa 2, just when fans thought her star power was reaching new heights.

It was predicted that Rashmika's pay would only increase further after she reportedly made an incredible Rs 10 crore for her performance in
pushpa 2, which debuted in theaters in
december 2024. To everyone's surprise, however, her pay for the three movies after
pushpa 2 significantly decreased.

She received Rs 4 crore for Chhaava, which came out on
february 14, 2025. She reportedly made Rs 5 crore for Sikandar, which was released on
march 30, 2025. According to estimates,
rashmika has once again earned Rs 4 crore, or around 60% less than her
pushpa 2 salary, since Kuberaa opened in theaters,
june 20. Despite her consistent popularity and strong performances, the surprising decline has spurred online discussions as fans wonder what caused the abrupt change in her compensation.
