Janhvi Kapoor has been hitting the headlines with her recent film, Peddi, which features her and Ram Charan in the lead roles. The sports drama was released on June 4, 2026, and within just five days of its theatrical run, it grossed roughly Rs. 250-300 crore worldwide. While the movie got some good response from the viewers, some remained furious with Janhvi Kapoor’s alleged hypersexualisation in the movie.
The backlash has been intensifying every hour, and so much so that director Buchi Babu Sana had to come out and apologise, while announcing that the controversial scenes of Janhvi, who played the role of ‘Achiyyamma’ in the movie, will be edited. Amid this, the actress’s alleged salary was also revealed. So, let’s have a look at how much the actress was paid for her role in Peddi.
How much was Janhvi Kapoor paid for her role in Peddi?
If the reports are to be believed, Ram Charan, the lead of the movie, was paid Rs. 60-70 crore for his role in the movie. Speaking of Janhvi Kapoor, she was said to be paid around Rs. 5-6 crore in the movie for playing the role of ‘Achiyyamma’. Reports claimed that not only Janhvi but also her co-star, Ram Charan, was ‘upset’ over the filmmakers’ choosing to objectify her. The actress’s fan club shared several screenshots, while claiming that those were Janhvi’s chats with her fans, wherein she allegedly revealed that she actually clarified that there would be no boob or waist shots, but it kept on happening.
