Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor is riding high on the massive success of Stree 2, which shattered box office records. With her popularity soaring, filmmakers are lining up to cast her in their upcoming projects. One of the latest reports reveals that producer Ekta Kapoor has signed Shraddha for her next big film—and the actress has significantly raised her fee for it.

Shraddha Charges a Whopping Rs 17 Crore for Ekta Kapoor’s Next

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Shraddha Kapoor is charging an impressive Rs 17 crore for her role in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming film. This makes her the highest-paid actress in Indian cinema. But that’s not all—Shraddha has also negotiated a profit-sharing clause in her contract, entitling her to a percentage of the film’s earnings upon its release.

The project is currently in its pre-production stage and is expected to go on floors in the second half of this year. The title of the film is being kept under wraps for now.

From Rs 5 Crore to Rs 17 Crore: Shraddha’s Massive Pay Jump

Just for context, Shraddha was reportedly paid Rs 5 crore for Stree 2. Her new fee marks a more than threefold jump, highlighting her growing influence and box office appeal. This upcoming film is poised to be one of her most significant projects post-Stree 2.

Shraddha to Return in Stree 3 as Well

Fans of the horror-comedy franchise can rejoice—Shraddha Kapoor is all set to return in Stree 3, which is slated for release in August 2027.
