Rajinikanth, Vijay, and Ajith are undoubtedly the topmost Kollywood stars demanding the highest remuneration in their industry. But, of late their remunerations have spiked significantly with the massive remuneration figures raising some questions.
Even Telugu star heroes are taking remunerations in the range of 70 Cr – 80 Cr remunerations. Top pan India stars with big markets are taking remuneration in the range of 150 Cr and some share in profits leading to budgeting issues. The massive remuneration Telugu and Tamil stars has been a topic of discussion for quite some time now.
But Vijay has surprised many and quoted 250 Cr remuneration for his next project which will be his last. While it is understandable that the audience will throng to catch Thalapathy for one last time on the big screen. The bigger question remains whether he is worth this astronomical figure or not.
In reality, Vijay has a limited market outside Tamil Nadu and Kerala. His following in Telugu states is not as big as one would expect a top star to have. In Hindi, he has a negligible market and in Telugu, his market is around 10 Cr ( in the absence of a big director).
All his films excluding Leo which was the most hyped film because of LCU and Lokesh Kanagaraj have collected around 300 Cr gross which means around 150 Cr share. While his films are doing 150 Cr theatrical business, quoting 250 Cr remuneration is quite shocking. This is the reason DVV Danayya opted out and practically no producer will okay with this.
