When it comes to receiving astronomical remunerations, it is said that nobody can match SS Rajamouli's track record. Among the star filmmakers out there, the competition is for non-Rajamouli records. Prashanth Neel, Shankar, Sukumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga are said to be among the next four highest-paid Southern directors (not necessarily in that order).
Lately, with the staggering success of SRK's 'Jawan' in 2023, Atlee wants to up the remuneration game rather unapologetically. His next is going to be with Allu Arjun.
His expectations from Bunny's movie are earth-shattering in terms of remuneration. He is aware of the risk appetite of Telugu producers and wants to make the most of the opportunity by bagging something like Rs 100 Cr by way of fee and a share in profits. He is aware of how much Sukumar is getting paid for 'Pushpa 2', so much so, Mythri Movie Makers is left with little profits.
