Actor Yugi Sethu recently shed light on Kamal Haasan’s astonishing remuneration for the film. Sethu recounted, “I had assumed that Kamal Haasan was being paid ₹150 crores for 20 days of acting in ‘Kalki.’ I met him on his birthday and told him, ‘Sir, you are the highest-paid actor in India, earning a million dollars a day.’ He immediately took me to ‘Kalki’ producer Ashwini Dutt. I conveyed the same to them. They then said, ‘Kamal Sir has only given 10 days of dates.’ Going by that calculation, Kamal Sir is earning two million dollars a day.” This revelation confirms the staggering ₹150 crore fee for just 10 days of shooting.
