123telugu.com reports that actress Wamiqa Gabbi has doubled her fee to Rs 6 crore after the success of her recent film DC. The outlet says she was previously paid close to Rs 3 crore. Industry buzz indicates several filmmakers are approaching her with offers across different languages.
Koimoi.com reports that DC has earned Rs 97.92 crore gross worldwide in 16 days, just Rs 2.08 crore short of the Rs 100 crore mark. The film, co-starring director Lokesh Kanagaraj in his acting debut, was made on a budget of Rs 25 crore and has generated a 156% return on investment. Koimoi notes this would be Gabbi's second Rs 100 crore global grosser of 2026, following Bhooth Bangla (Rs 292.64 crore) and Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (Rs 77.81 crore), taking her cumulative global collection to Rs 468.37 crore across three films this year.

The coverage aligns: both confirm her rising market value. The measured takeaway is that DC's commercial performance has visibly elevated Gabbi's bargaining power.
