Ikkis Fees Shock: Dharmendra Earns Less Than Newcomer Agastya Nanda

• Dharmendra received only ₹20 lakh for his last film 'Ikkis', significantly less than other cast members.
• Newcomer Agastya Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson, earned ₹70 lakh for his debut lead role in 'Ikkis'.
• The fee disparity has sparked debate, with a legendary actor earning less than a debutant.
• Experts suggest Dharmendra accepted the role for his love for director Sriram Raghavan and the character, not money.
• Jaideep received ₹50 lakh, while Akshay Kumar's niece Simar earned ₹5 lakh for their roles in the film.

Why It Matters: Dharmendra's low fee for 'Ikkis' compared to Agastya Nanda highlights passion over pay for veterans.
