Rajinikanth beats Vijay’s Rs 220 crore salary record

Rajinikanth beats Vijay’s Rs 220 crore salary record, becoming Tamil cinema’s highest-paid star again - Reports

Rajinikanth is set to become Tamil cinema’s highest-paid actor again. Reports suggest a record-breaking Rs 225 crore salary for his upcoming film. This deal surpasses Vijay’s reported Rs 220 crore remuneration. The movie also marks a reunion with Kamal Haasan. Rajinikanth has a busy schedule with other projects lined up.

The Tamil film industry is once again talking about Rajinikanth and his unmatched star power. Even before the official announcement of his next film, reports about his remuneration have started circulating. Trade experts say the superstar’s market value continues to rise, especially after his recent films have succeeded. There is strong buzz that his upcoming project, tentatively titled ‘Thalaivar 174 x KH238’, comes with a record-breaking pay deal. Though nothing has been officially confirmed, discussion about his salary has already grabbed headlines.

Rajinikanth to receive Rs 225 crore salary

According to Valai Pechu, Rajinikanth is reportedly charging a massive Rs 225 crore for the film. If this figure is true, it will make him the highest-paid actor in Tamil cinema once again. The number has surprised many in the industry and sparked comparisons with Vijay, who reportedly earned Rs 220 crore for ‘Jana Nayagan’. With Rs 225 crore being discussed, Rajinikanth appears to have crossed that mark. However, the makers have not released any official statement about the exact amount.

Rajinikanth’s reunion with Kamal Haasan adds excitement

The movie is important as it marks the return of Rajinikanth with Kamal Haasan after a long time. It is a treat for all the Tamil cinema fans to see these great actors in one frame. The project is reportedly a comedy thriller focusing on friendship. A promo shoot has reportedly been completed, and expectations are already high for this exciting collaboration.

Superstar actor’s busy line-up

Apart from this film, Rajinikanth is also working on ‘Jailer 2’, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. He also has another project, which Cibi Chakravarthy is announced to direct after Sundar C stepped away. Meanwhile, the salary buzz alone shows that Rajinikanth remains one of the biggest and most bankable stars in Indian cinema.
