The Star of "Word of a Gangster" Nikita Kologrivy Raised His Fees: How Much Does a Shooting Day with the Artist Cost Now?

Russian actor Nikita Kologrivy, whose popularity soared after roles in the series "Word of Honor" and "Epidemic," has significantly increased his rates. According to an anonymous source from "Komsomolskaya Pravda," following the hype around his persona, his fee for a shooting day now starts from 250-300 thousand rubles, depending on the project and other factors. This confirms the trend: in 2024, Kologrivy earned over 500 thousand rubles for participating in "Word of Honor" (5-7 shooting days), and his services for advertising shoots are valued at 7-8 million rubles. The actor revealed this in the podcast "For Money" on Otar Kushanashvili's YouTube channel.

Kologrivy, a 39-year-old native of Perm, began his career in theater, but his breakthrough came in 2019 with a role in the series "Epidemic." In 2023, "Word of Honor" made him a star: the role of "Marat" earned him a "Golden Eagle" nomination and millions of views. In 2025, the actor is filming in the war drama "The Moment of Truth" based on Bogomolov's novel and the comedy "The Non-Diamond Arm." His manager, according to Kologrivy, "sets prices as demand increases." In the podcast, the actor noted: "I love money, but interesting roles are the main thing." Kologrivy's rider is strict: Coca-Cola in the dressing room, security on set, and refusal to fly on Superjet.

Show business experts surveyed by "Gazeta.Ru" confirm: Kologrivy's fees have increased by 50-100% in a year, putting him in the same league as top actors like Fyodor Bondarchuk. In 2025, 5 premieres featuring him are expected, including "Opening of an Ophthalmological Center in Murmansk" - a charity project. The scandal in Novosibirsk (2024) with his refusal to perform in a play only increased interest: his theater fees grew from 8 thousand to hundreds of thousands of rubles.
