Ensemble and Rumoured Payments

Beyond the main ensemble listed above, Toxic also features several other actors, including Tovino Thomas, Akshay Oberoi, Darrell D'Silva, Natalie Burn and Kyle Paul - but specific fee details for those roles haven't been publicly reported.

What These Numbers Reflect

A few interesting patterns emerge when you look at the fee breakdown:

• Star Power Still Rules: The clear trend is that big names command the biggest pay. Yash, who is the lead and also one of the producers of the film, leads the pack with a huge margin.
• Pan-India Casting Impact: Kiara Advani's relatively high salary is a result of her pan-India appeal, the film is trying to appeal to various languages and geographies, and the casting of Bollywood stars along with South Indian stars has become the new norm.
• Supporting Talent Matters: The mid-range salaries of Rukmini, Huma, and Tara Sutaria indicate that even second-tier talent gets decent pay in a big-budget film.

Bottomline

Although none of these figures has been officially confirmed by the production or talent reps, they're the most consistent estimates circulating in trade reports and entertainment media as Toxic heads into its theatrical release next month.
