According to some previous rumours, the Dangal actor received ₹20 crores for Coolie. According to people close to him, he made the movie out of genuine love and respect for Rajinikanth and did not accept any payment.

Other actors in the movie are making a lot of money, but Aamir's role doesn't pay. According to reports, record-breaking advance sales have increased Rajinikanth's earnings from Rs 150 crore to Rs 200 crore. According to reports, Nagarjuna Akkineni makes Rs 10 crore, Upendra Rs 5 crore, Sathyaraj Rs 5 crore, and Shruti Haasan Rs 4 crore.
