Johnny Depp -- $74 mil for Pirates of the Caribbean 2
That's a big payday. However, the answer depends on whether you are talking salary alone (guaranteed) or the overall take of salary, video rights, etc. which are unknown when movie is made. Example, Bruce Willis helped fund and produce Sixth Sense. His total pay for that movie is in excess of 100 million dollars. There probably are examples of even bigger overall paydays for a single movie. Tom hanks was paid 70 million in his role Forrest gump and 40 million in saving private Ryan.
Honestly, I'm not sure, but i will say that Johnny Depp because he is the highest paid actor in Hollywood right now.
In all of Asia, the highest paid is Super Star Rajini Kanth (debatably). He's a ridiculously famous actor in Tamil movies. Tamil is an Indian language spoken in the South Indian state, Tamil Nadu. He is NOT a Bollywood actor at all! Bollywood ONLY refers to Hindi language movies in India. I have heard he even makes more than Jackie Chan.
10.5 million
Currently, as of 2009, he is the highest paid actor. He gets paid 80 million+ 'per film.
