Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to dazzle the audience with his next big movie, “Vettaiyan,” which is hitting theaters on October 10th. The excitement for this film is building up, especially with the recent news that another major star, Surya, has postponed his movie “Kanguva” to avoid clashing with Rajinikanth’s release. But while Rajinikanth is grabbing headlines, there’s another big name involved in this project—Nagarjuna.
Rajinikanth’s Massive Fee
Rajinikanth, often referred to as “Thalaivar,” is known for his larger-than-life presence on screen, and this film is no exception. It’s reported that Rajinikanth has charged a whopping Rs 280 crores for his role in “Vettaiyan.” His role, known as Deva, promises to be as grand as ever. This news alone has fans eagerly waiting to see what Rajinikanth will bring to the screen this time.
Nagarjuna’s Role in the Film
But Rajinikanth isn’t the only superstar in this film. Nagarjuna, another celebrated actor, is also part of the cast. He’s playing a character named Simon, who is a don in the movie. Fans are thrilled to see these two giants of Indian cinema share the screen. However, despite Nagarjuna’s stature in the industry, there’s a significant difference in the fees between the two stars.
Nagarjuna’s Fee: A Fraction of Rajinikanth’s
According to reports from Cinejosh, while Rajinikanth is earning in the range of Rs 260-280 crores, Nagarjuna is being paid Rs 24 crores for his role. Although this is a substantial amount, it’s a fraction of what Rajinikanth is receiving. Fans of Nagarjuna are excited to see him in this role, but the stark difference in pay has raised some eyebrows.
Other Stars in the Film
“Vettaiyan” isn’t just about Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna. The film also features a talented cast, including Nimma Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has a reputation for delivering hits, the movie is expected to be a blockbuster.
Rajinikanth’s Previous Releases and Future Projects
Earlier this year, Rajinikanth was seen in a cameo role in the film “Lal Salaam,” directed by his daughter Aishwarya. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t perform well at the box office. Rumors suggest that some scenes were missing after the initial shoot, leading to a rushed release with the available footage.
On the other hand, Rajinikanth’s film “Jailer,” released in 2023, was a massive hit and even gave tough competition to Bollywood films at the box office. Fans of Rajinikanth will be excited to know that a sequel to “Jailer” is already in the works, with anticipation building around it.
