'Tere Ishk Mein' cast fees revealed; Dhanush paid three times more than Kriti Sanon for Aanand L Rai's romantic drama - Reports

The buzz around Aanand L Rai’s new film 'Tere Ishk Mein' is growing louder by the day, as fans look forward to seeing Dhanush and Kriti Sanon explore “intense love, betrayal, obsession, and the consequences that follow” in one of 2025’s most talked about romantic dramas.

Cast and story of Tere Ishk Mein

After a gap of four years, Rai and Dhanush are reuniting to entertain viewers once again with a love story that steps into the darker corners of relationships. Set in a world that carries the emotional flavor of 'Raanjhanaa', 'Tere Ishk Mein' follows lives shaped by passion, hurt, and impossible choices. At the center is Shankar, played by Dhanush, a young man whose love knows no limits and whose world revolves around Mukti. Kriti Sanon’s Mukti is described as a woman battling her own mental turmoil, haunted by painful memories and fears that keep pulling her back even as love pulls her forward.

Emotional tone and creative reunion

In its coverage, Filmibeat highlighted how the project has already created massive buzz across social media, with the trailer and music driving anticipation for a big theatrical opening. The outlet also reported on the cast’s paychecks. According to Filmibeat, Dhanush is charging around Rs 15 crore (approx) for 'Tere Ishk Mein', while Kriti is getting around Rs 5 crore for her role. The report notes that this makes Dhanush the highest paid cast member, although these figures are not officially confirmed.

The film does not limit itself to simple romance. As Shankar’s devotion collides with Mukti’s inner struggles, both characters are drawn into a storm of overwhelming emotions. Their path is marked by sacrifice, unresolved history, and the harsh truth of choosing love in a world that constantly tests them. This layered approach aims to make 'Tere Ishk Mein' more than a romantic drama and instead a story about the price one pays for undying love.

Supporting performances from Sushil Dahiya as an inspector and Maahir Mohiuddin as Rana are set to add further texture to the narrative. Backed by producers Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Himanshu Sharma, 'Tere Ishk Mein' is positioning itself as a blend of emotional intensity, star power, and big screen romance.
