Kiara Advani’s recent success in being the highest-paid Indian actress is interesting, especially since she got ₹15 crore for her role in the Kannada movie Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which also starred Yash.
This pay is a historic high point for her career, putting her alongside other top actresses such as Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, who have charged similar or even more for their films.

The choice of paying Kiara this much for Toxic, considering it is a Kannada film, has raised eyebrows among the fraternity. People wonder if her performance in her earlier films merits this level of pay, particularly when compared to her recent efforts, which have been met with mixed reactions.
For example, her Game Changer role was subjected to significant trolling, with some speculating that her pay would be more of a publicity stunt than an indication of her box office appeal.

Although Kiara’s looks and acting abilities are undeniable, the question is whether she has the outstanding box office appeal that would make people go to theatres just to watch her act.
As she gets ready for her upcoming movie War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, the industry will be waiting to see if she can sustain this pace and establish herself as one of the top-paid actresses in Indian cinema.
