Toxic’s pay-check battle: Kiara Advani or Nayanthara, who is the highest-paid actress in Yash’s big-budget film?
Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has been one of the most buzzed-about releases of 2026 for many reasons including its impressive magnitude and talented cast. Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth being the leading ladies alongside KGF star has made her curious to know how much money is going to be made by the stars.
As per reports, Kiara Advani is said to have supposedly emerged as the highest-paid actor, taking home around Rs. 15 crores. Nayanthara who has also played a key role in Geetu Mohandas s direction has supposedly charged a lesser fee; however, no confirmation has been received from the actors or makers considering the remuneration figures.
Kiara’s Rs. 15 crore has drawn spotlight, as Toxic has been known as one of the biggest salary jump movie of this actress’ career according to the reports. It has been said that Kiara has received a hike in her fees; it marks yet another addition to Kiara’s rising popularity in different fields.
Although Kiara is apparently in the lead among actresses when it comes to income, Yash appears to be in a whole different orbit when income is concerned. Being the face of the ambitious film and one of Indian cinema’s leading stars, Yash is apparently earning far more than his co-stars, even though these numbers have not been officially confirmed.
Toxic has an impressive lineup with Yash, Kiara, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth in the cast. The film has already created a huge buzz because of its scale, action, and unique casting of actors, thus making anything about the project – including the salaries that people have received for their work on the film – a hot topic of discussion among fans.
With so much attention to the cast of the film, it looks like Kiara Advani has exercised her influence and secured her position as the highest-paid female actor in the film.
