Yura Borisov's Post-Stardom Life: Earnings and Current Film Project
Russian actor Yura Borisov has made a significant impact in the film industry, both in his home country and Hollywood. Here's a look at his recent achievements and upcoming projects.
After a year of global recognition following the success of the art film "Anora," Borisov became the first Russian actor to be nominated for an "Oscar" for his role in the film. However, he did not win the award for Best Supporting Actor, with the accolade going to Kiran Culkin instead. Despite this, the "Anora" team was awarded the "Best Film 2024" Oscar.
Borisov's life remains focused on his daughters starting school, his numerous shoots, and his return to the theatrical stage. The actor is known for his careful approach to choosing roles and thorough preparation to avoid falling victim to 'star disease.'
In Russia, Borisov has several major projects in production or post-production, including "Chronicles of the Russian Revolution" and "The Ninth Planet." One of his upcoming Russian films is "Konchitsa Leto" ("Summer Will End"), where he plays Kesha, a young man returning to Yakutia after prison. This film explores themes of multiculturalism and family dynamics in a Turkic environment.
In Hollywood, Borisov has been cast in the comedic drama "Artificial," a film set against the backdrop of the controversial 2023 events surrounding OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman. This marks Borisov's first English-speaking role, where he plays Ilya Sutskever. The film also stars Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro and is produced by Amazon MGM with a notable script by Simon Rich. Filming for "Artificial" took place in San Francisco in mid-2025.
Borisov signed a contract with the Hollywood agency United Talent Agency in the spring, which represents actors like Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, and Timothée Chalamet. As of now, there are no specific mentions of Yura Borisov's plans for theater work or a theatrical comeback. However, Borisov will return to the theatrical stage in the fall, playing the lead role in the play "Hamlet" on the main stage of the MHT.
Borisov's film fees have increased due to his fame, starting from approximately 600,000 rubles per day. The actor spent part of the summer with his family in Russia and is currently in Italy with his family, shooting for "Artificial." Borisov graduated from the Shchepkin Theatre School and was accepted into the troupe of the Satirikon Theatre, but left after a year and a half to focus on his film career.
