With the producers making around Rs 1000 crore per film, Rajinikanth is set to charge a remuneration scale between Rs 260-280 crores, making him the highest-paid actor not only in India but in all of Asia.
Soon after the mega-hit called Jailer, Rajini hiked his remuneration. Thalaiwa had a massive blockbuster in the year 2018 with his last collaboration with S Shankar called 2.0.
Thereafter, the actor’s films like Petta, Darbar, and Annaatthe were all decent hits but did not garner much firepower in terms of box office revenue.
After the recent blockbuster success of Nelson Dilipkumar’s directorial film Jailer, the actor is set to hike up his fees.
The latest film being directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is also being produced by Jailer producer Kalanithi Maran under his banner of Sun Pictures.
It is most likely that Rajinikanth has chosen to charge this much for his next. Now Lal Salaam helmed by his daughter Aishwarya is ready for release.
