At the press meet for Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude, the producers addressed viral rumours claiming Little Hearts actor Mouli was paid one crore rupees for his next project with their banner. The news spread quickly on social media, drawing wide attention.
Mythri Movie Makers producers Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar dismissed the rumours, confirming that the claim is false. They said Mouli received an advance payment for his upcoming project but clarified that the reported one crore figure is completely untrue.
The producers praised Mouli’s performance in Little Hearts, describing the film as well-made and appreciating his dedication. They explained that his payment was fair for his current standing, and future compensation would depend on official confirmation of the new project.
Industry insiders revealed that Mouli’s actual remuneration for Little Hearts was between five and ten lakh rupees. Even successful small-budget films rarely increase an actor’s pay by such a huge margin. His next confirmed project is again with the same production banner.
While discussions for other films continue, Mouli has been advised to choose his next projects carefully. Being an outsider without strong industry backing, one wrong move or a flop could affect his growing career significantly.
